Latest Guardians of Middle-earth Video Puts Gollum and Gandalf in the Spotlight

This latest trailer for Warner Bros. Games and Monolith's Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA), Guardians of Middle-earth, focuses upon both Gollum and Gandalf, presumably because their names begin with 'G'. In the video, you'll get a profile of each character, and a rundown of their individual skills and attributes.

Gollum for instance, is strong yet cowardly, and a moderately difficult character to play with. However, he's capable of dealing more damage than Gandalf bizarrely, and can be dangerous in a close proximity situation. His 'My Precious' move has no cooldown if it results in a kill, so potentially, Gollum can chain together a quick succession of kills in the right circumstances.

Gandalf on the other hand, has an array of spells at his fingertips including the large area damage of 'Fireworks' and his 'Flame of Anor' attack. He's also incredibly resilient and able to take a lot of punishment. You can check out both Gandalf and Gollum in action in the trailer below.

Guardians of Middle-earth is out in autumn 2012 on XBLA.

  • Yep
  • @1 GTFO! That's the most racists thing I ever heard anyone say in this website. You should be fucking banned for saying shit like that.
  • I hope Golem isn't overpowered in this game his one of the most badass character ever :(
  • I've been playing me a lot of Dota 2, so I'm digging this game. Hope it plays good on consoles ha
  • The size of the heros still bugs me for some reason
  • It's surprising that they didn't include Lord of the Rings in the title to garner fan support. Also, bullshit Golum could kill anyone, he couldn't fight for shit in the movies. But yeah, might get this.
  • Not sure if I want this I'll wait for more news
  • Gandalf...using spells and magic...say it ain't so. Where were all these spells in the movies? He and the Witch King were the biggest character disappointments. Great powerful wizards with no desire to use their powers. Pussies. Oh yeah, and this looks horrible.
  • @2 lmfao what a dumbass
  • Looks like a fun game! I'll probably get it
  • Wish there was more characters! That's what was best about LoL, the amount of characters and different builds possible for different strategies
