From Middle-earth, the creatures of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings will rise into a new digital world in April with the launch of an online game which has raised the hackles of some die-hard fans.
Game publishers Turbine and Midway Games will on Thursday unveil details of the highly anticipated massively multiplayer online game The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, whose launch is scheduled for April 24.
The game's creators are assuring fans of Tolkien's epic fantasy adventure that the game faithfully re-creates the vast world of the "Middle-earth" described in his books. The game also allows players to create thousands of virtual characters.
But the game, the first Tolkien-based massively multiplayer online offering, was already causing dissent among some Tolkien fans who know all the details of the 1954 and 1955 trilogy.
"I know it is hard to judge a title before you play it but I feel like this won't feel like real Lord of the Rings," said one commentator on video game news and review site GameSpot.com.
Turbine's chief executive, Jeffrey Anderson, said fans from around the globe will be able to join the vast, digital world of Middle-earth to explore the untold stories, interact with legendary heroes like Gandalf, and play a vital role in the "War of the Ring" storyline.

The PSX (or PS1, whichever you prefer) is one of the most iconic consoles ever made. Boasting a gigantic library, it was the first entry into the realm of 3D for many gamers, all thanks to a plethora of memorable games still talked about to this day.
Bugs Bunny Lost in Time
Bugs Bunny and Taz: Time Busters
Sheep Dog n Wolf (Sheep Raider)
Seriously Sheep Dog n Wolf was fantastic and I can't believe we have never had another game like it.
It might look cute and fun being a Looney Tune game but it had some great puzzles where you had to make your way through a level with platforming, get to the Sheeps pen, find a way to distract Sam or get a Sheep away from him without knowing using ACME products and then work out a way to get the Sheep to the white ring on the other side of the level to complete it.

I'd kill for a remake.
Bugs Bunny games were actually some of the best game i played back in the day. Seriously, it had some AAA quality behind it. Why cant WB do another game like that is beyond me.

While many attempts at creating a convincing AI have been made, none have ever managed to convince the world that machines can be capable of independent thought. However, the Creatures series is probably the closest we’ve got."

As I've grown up, I've murdered hundreds of digital citizens for a few quick chuckles. But when I was a little girl, I loved to mistreat Norns, the stars of 1997's Creatures, the most."
