Turbine has
been one of the darlings of the MMO industry over the past six years, enjoying success with the original Asheron's
Call and winning the online development rights to the two most popular fantasy franchises in history. However,
with the much lamented
demise of Asheron's Call 2 and lackluster reviews for
Dungeons & Dragons Online, 2006 is off to a difficult start for the Massachusetts-based studio. They will look to bounce back with the May 1 release of The Lord of the Rings Online: The Shadows of Angmar. GameTrailers.com has regular and high-def versions of the official trailer, and visually, it looks as polished as DDO. Let's hope it has the gameplay to match.
