As the PS One went the way of Old Yeller in the early naughties, the 64-bit PlayStation 2 system arrived with promise, and looked to take the gaming industry by storm when it arrived in 2000. The PlayStation 2 exploded onto the scene, besting it's predecessor with far superior hardware and graphics capabilities, allowing our favourite game developers to deliver vibrant and crisp visuals of which console fans had never seen before. Among its competition in and around its release were: SEGA's flagging Dreamcast console, Nintendo's hit-and-miss Gamecube and Microsoft's debut, all-singing-all-dancing Xbox system.

With SEGA and Nintendo leading the gaming market in the late 80s and early 90s, Sony entered into fierce competition, when they announced the development of their own console system - named The PlayStation (or PS One as it's more commonly known today).

LOTR

So Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment has announced a brand new spanking game for the LOTR universe. They have said that the online co-op will be up to three players forming their own fellowship which seems rather small but let’s hope you get to team up with other fellowships to cut down the forces of evil. Martin Tremblay, President of the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has mentioned that this game will be rated 17+, so we might be able to expect a bit of black and red blood along with a few limbs flying about. Read more »
