Excellent debut for Forza Horizon 2 and Shadow of Mordor.

I am about 5 hours into SoM on PS4 and loving it! Not a huge racer, but might pick up FH2 when its cheap as I enjoyed the demo!

Great sales this week from both the PS4 and Xbox One, clearly the China launch was an unmitigated success!

Are you an rpg fan? Im not really but SoM seems like a good action game, which i love (action games). What are your thoughts about the game so far?

I play my fair share of RPG's. There isn't an RPG-level of depth to its systems, but thats fine as it doesn't pretend to be one.

It is an excellent game so far. I've read a few reviews that describe its combat as Arkham with swords (in a complementary way) and I think thats fair. Story is interesting enough, but I have barely scratched it. Too much fun running around checking out the Nemesis system. The game keeps lulling me into the feeling that it is easy - then killing me.

If you're an action fan, with any interest in Mordor or orcs etc at all, its great.


fair enough. i hated the combat system in Arkham Asylum, but this nemesis system seems really interesting. im gonna play it, and if i dont like it you have hell to pay for "tricking" me into playing it mister!
