LotR Online enters beta
Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar has officially entered beta, bringing the game significantly closer to completion. Gamers who want to play (and test) the game for free can still sign up at the game's Website. Be aware however that entry is by selection only. The Turbine MMORPG is based on the Tolkien novels and the Peter Jackson movies, allowing players to pursue peaceful or aggressive paths in famous locations like Bree, Rivendell, and the Shire. No final release date has been set.
