![]() ![]() Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Premium Edition (new to top five) Sumptuous presentation from staffers behind high-octane shooters "Bulletstorm" and "Gears of War: Judgement" comes as no surprise, though the degree of visual polish is indeed remarkable.īut as the debut release from new studio The Astronauts, "Ethan Carter" eschews violent resolution for a considered supernatural thriller and does so with some style indeed.Ĥ.

Cosmetically it may bear similarities to big-budget franchises "Assassin's Creed" (clambering around intimidating enemy encampments) and "Batman: Arkham" (a superbly proficient close combat fighting hero), but by daring to innovate on those established franchises and creating a sophisticated, engrossing and evolving society of antagonists, "Shadow of Mordor" should be populating a panopoly of 2014's Game of the Year retrospectives before very long.
