It’s December the big titles have hit the market and gamers are deciding what to play for the rest of the year. So you would think It is the time for gaming bliss, unfortunately this isn’t the case for me. In all honesty, 2012 has been a disappointing year in gaming with a few highlights over a very mediocre year.
Therefore, I’m looking to different shores to get my gaming fill. In addition, Xbox Live Arcade is a good place to dig into to in times like these. Guardians of Middle Earth might just be that. Released on XBLA today, it brings the MOBA to consoles. The formula might sound odd to some but Monolith might just be the studio to do it right. It really is the first shot and seeing if a MOBA can sink or swim on consoles.
Although the MOBA genre which is dominated by DOTA 2 and League of Legends, It has passed me by. However, I’m a sucker for strategy games. Sit me down in front of a decent RTS and I will be happy for hours.
I’ll be downloading this tomorrow morning and I’m going to post up my impression of the first few hours of the game.
Check back later for my thoughts on the Guardians of Middle Earth.
