Video: LOTR Conquest shows its evil side

by Richard Mitchell { Dec 5th 2008 at 5:15PM }

At this point, we've all taken a few steps in Frodo's shoes. We know what it's like to swing a sword as Aragorn. We've even laid waste to hordes of orcs with Gandalf's mighty magic. Now, thanks to Lord of the Rings: Conquest from Pandemic (creators of Star Wars: Battlefront), we can finally give in to our more evil inclinations. The latest trailer for conquest shows off plenty of evil creatures doing what they do best. From Orcs to Balrogs to Fell Beasts to Lord Sauron himself, it's a veritable buffet of malificence. We particularly like the scene in which an orc takes down an Ent singlehandely. Check out the video above and dream of the day you can do it yourself (which, incidentally, will be in January 2009)

It's orgasmic watching this. The release date can't come soon enough. I don't know how I'll be able to cope being evil, I don't have it in me.

Isn't that an Uruk-hai and not just an Orc that takes down the Ent?

I don't get this... won't you lose every battle as the orks?

no they have an alternate storyline where Sauron wins and you get to run around killing people everywhere from Minas Tirith to The Shire

I'm liking the scene where an orc walks up behind a Hobbit and skewers him on his sword!

However, I'd rather have Battlefront III instead, but this game should hold me over until it comes out.

Speaking of which, has anyone actually heard anything about SW Battlefront 3? Last I heard it was coming out this next Spring/Summer but I've not heard anything since then. This game might be good, but SW Battlefront 3 is what I'm *really* looking forward to. Though I hope they do a good job on it since Pandemic isn't making it...
