Release Roundup: Jan. 11

I know that the past couple Release Roundups have been pretty depressing. Well hopefully this week’s will help raise your spirits; I know it raised mine.

This week we finally get the first new PS3 and Xbox 360 game of the year, Lord of the Rings: Conquest. It may not be as epic as Halo 4 or something, but at least it has a major name behind it. Made by Pandemic studios, the guys who brought us Mercenaries 2, LotR: Conquest takes the formula set in place by games like Star Wars: Battlefront and gives it a fantasy twist. If riding Wargs and cutting off heads sounds like a great time to you, check out the demo; there is one on both Xbox 360 and PS3.
