One thing that dissapoints me about Tolkien movies and games, is the fact there are only games set in the third age of the books. Why there are no Silmarillion games ?
|
Because the number of people who read that is a tiny fraction of the people who read the trilogy and/or watched the movies.
Reviews are looking very good. I haven't checked the game videos etc. yet, so I'll do a research. It was a long time since the last decent LOTR game.

I agree, but it's not like most people who watch/play Tolkien actually read any of the books at all. It's a shame really, The Silmarillion is amazing.

Yeah but at least they know the universe and characters from the films. The Silmarillion would be like a new IP to most :).
I actually read the Silmarillion at the age of 12 or 13, before the Hobbit and the LOTR trilogy so I don't remember much but; wasn't it a combination of various stories from various places in the universe? Stories of the gods and the Sauron, the creation of earth, the stories of individual characters and so on? I don't think it is the best material for a game.
