10 Cancelled Video Games That Would Have Made Millions

3. The Lord Of The Rings: The White Council

Platform: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings franchise might as well be certified as a synonym for "big bucks," given its tendency to bring in heaps of cash at regular intervals, be it through the medium of cinema, or in video games. There have been a lot of Lord of the Rings video games in the past, of course - some good, some bad, but all of which have proved to be financially successful. Cancelled game The Lord of the Rings: The White Council would probably have fared similarly. EA set out developing The White Council as a tie-in to Peter Jackson's hit movies. Pretty much, the game was intended to be a huge, open world Lord of the Rings game, which we'd all agree sounds absolutely amazing - there's no way a game built around the idea of a free-roaming Middle-Earth wouldn't have raked in hundreds of millions. Sadly, this game disappeared into nothingness around 2007, and gamers have heard nothing surrounding its fate ever since.
