Last week, I was interviewed by Turbine Inc. (www.turbine.com) - gaming company producing massive multiplayer fantasy-based games. Their latest creation is “Lord of the Rings: Shadows of Angmar†and you can download 7-day free trial version of this game at www.lotro.com I think that its worthy to at least take a look at it, although you would need DSL or cable modem or anything better to download trial.
