6. The Lord Of The Rings: Two Towers

When it comes to picking the best Lord Of The Rings video game, it's actually quite a challenging task, as between the outstanding Two Towers, Return Of The King, and even the brilliantly fun Lord Of The Rings Lego title, there's not a stinker in the bunch.

Yet, while I know deep down Return Of The King to be a better game for all the improvements it made over it's predecessor and the addition of 2 player support, my heart will always blow the horn hard for the wonder that is The Two Towers. Introduced by a friend as "Lord Of The Rings Dynasty Warriors" I was instantly smitten with the smoting that I could dish out to the menacing masses of Mordor. It's not a particularly clever game by any stretch, but the fact that each character could access a bevvy of combos at any given time elevated this from being a mere button masher to a fairly elegant fighting title.

Battling through iconic locations and wallowing in the muck of Helms Deep echoed the glory of the silver screen to become a golden slice of gaming, and I loved every second of it.
