Recommended Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings games for PS2, GameCube, GBA, DS, PC?

Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, for GameCube and PS2.

It’s an RPG centering around another party (not the Fellowship) in Middle Earth whose adventures bring them across the path or in contact with the Fellowship itself. The idea for the game was that the Fellowship’s actions are fixed exactly to what they do in the books or movies, so exploration in an RPG as themselves would be limited. However, following someone who is following the Fellowship allows you to go where they went but you can also wander off on a tangent if you want.

Such a great game. Wish this was also for PC.

Never got to play Third Age but there’s a similar game called War in the North that I adore. You’re part of a group of three whose mission is to help support the Fellowship in the background. The gameplay consists of very fun hack and slash mechanics, with lots of varied loot and gear rewards throughout. It has three person online co-op that is a blast to play with others. It’s available on PS3, 360 and PC. And it looks great on PC. Here are some of my own personal screenshots:

I don’t see that ever happening. They’ll probably end up going with their plan B and replace it with the Nicholas Meyer series and claim that was the plan all along.

Bleh. That was not Star Trek.

Everyone in this thread is off my Christmas list.

I will fight you irl.

Fix the Luke hologram to match the rest of the saga (desaturate, blue tint, add scanlines).

Pre-recorded holograms have always had color:

But what about Leia, you might ask?:

Plenty of color in her face but her all white outfit emphasized the blue tint.

Jedit: and Luke’s hologram has plenty of scanlines already.

Helicopter? We live in the age of the drone.

If they were to ever bring back Dark Forces I’d want Kyle Katarn to stay a mercenary.

I watched Orville and was quite pleased. The visuals are gorgeous, I’m a little surprised they managed to pull that off on a TV budget. The humor can be a bit bluer than I care for at times but it’s not too bad. You can tell they were very earnest with the writing on this series and it feels like a love letter to classic Star Trek. There’s a real heart to it.

So if Discovery turns out to be the disaster in making it seems to be at least we’ll have one decent new Trek series to watch.

What is an '09 edit you’d recommend?

Abrams’ answer to Kathleen Kennedy’s question “who is Luke Skywalker” is supposedly what got him the gig to direct TFA in the first place.

What is this based on? The accounts I’ve heard from both Kennedy and Abrams themselves is that Kennedy basically begged Abrams to take the job on multiple occasions before he finally relented.

JJ Abrams is entirely unsuited to third acts, at least in a writing capacity.

So sadly this. 😦

Well there go my hopes for IX. Abrams is the absolute WORST at endings and now he’s been given the ending of the trilogy itself.

That little Kenner ship has to be the inspiration for the Phantom from Rebels.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that!

I can’t find a picture of it doing it, but it slots into the back of the Ghost in much the same way.

I’m just glad Trevorrow’s out. Blaster bolt dodged there imo.

This.

Because he had one movie that some people didn’t like? Kershner made some turkeys too.

I quite enjoyed *Safety Not Guaranteed but Jurassic World while a titan at the box office was a real disappointment as a film. It showed his weaknesses not only as a writer but a director as well. I was very worried for this film with him attached and the negative buzz coming off of The Book of Henry did nothing but intensify that concern.

Oh man, I’d love a cameo from Bullox and Blue Max.

But wait, Michael K. Williams role was supposed to be a CG character of some kind but was replaced with Bettany because of a scheduling conflict. Reportedly, the character will now just be a human. But what if that was supposed to be Bullox? Unlikely, but still something to ponder…

I thought Picasso’s “Coffee Pot” as my avatar would be fit my username, but I don’t think it really works well as an avatar, if that makes sense.

Anyway, just give me whatever avatar you think would work, Doc.

What about me? I don’t even have a face!

THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT TOBAR

Is this better?

I am also looking for an appointment with the Doctor. The Doctor has free reign over what the subject matter of the avatar is to be.

No Pokémon, however. I generally don’t like that game and did not know that my current avatar included a character from that game.
