Abstract Academy – This Canvas ain’t Big Enough for the Two of Us!
I have never aspired to being an artist. I’ve scribbled little sausage people in the margins of my notebooks while in school, but chose to spend my efforts with the written word instead. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that I’ve never applied paint to canvas.
Galaxy Trucker – You Might Survive the Kessel Run

I’ve played some real terrible movie tie-in games in my day. The Lord of the Rings has had some great and not so great games made within the universe. Stick around to see if Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-Earth falls into the former or latter camp.
