JxE Streams: Bring on the Bright Lord in 'Shadow of Mordor'
Last year was a mixed bag for fans of magical rings and short dudes with a penchant for going barefoot. On the one hand, The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies was a disappointing close to the mediocre second Tolkien film trilogy. On the other, Monolith Games made one of the best pieces of Lord of the Rings-related fare in years in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Its thriving world and "Nemesis System," which has you intimidating, manipulating, and confusing an army of monsters, made it one of the first standout successes on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. We're diving into "The Bright Lord," a brand new downloadable story campaign, on JxE Streams at 4PM ET.
Tune into Engadget.com/gaming, Twitch.tv/Joystiq, or this post to check out our one-hour stream. Orcs will get roughed up, elves will hit giant wizards made of pure evil with enormous swords, and all kinds of awesome things will take place. Hang out with us in the Twitch chat, ask questions about how the game feels, and marvel at how often we die on screen.
Check out the JxE Streams schedule at Engadget.com/gaming for a look at what we've got coming up!
