New M-E role-playing game being developed - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was cruising around Gamespot.com, for no apparent reason, since I don't like computer games that much, when I came across this:

Hmm, that game looks like it may be pretty good. Did you see a release date? I didnt have time to totally check out the site that it was on.

Well, I think that the designers behind this game (Black Label), are the same behind the FotR game for the X-Box. That game was pretty bad, so I'm not sure if this game will be that great either. However, it seems it is a very different type of gameplay, which is Warcraft RPG style, than the X-Box game which is a free-chase adventure style, so it might be better. But, I wouldn't be surprised if this game sucked.

Yeah good point, i think if EA was making this game it would probably look a whole lot better. That may just be EA's reputation though.

Here are some great screenshots:

And I believe there is a reference to Beorn in there.
