GoME is a console MOBA game, much like League of Legends for PC. Currently it has 22 Characters from the expansive world of Middle Earth with just the Full Game, and 7 more to be released with the Season pass. Each character is one of 5 classes (Tactician, Enchanter, Warrior, Defender, Striker). In addition to this, each character has it's own unique stats, movepools, and playstyles to experiment with.

PC version pls

@Minwu:

I think the idea is to keep it on the console to make it as gimicky of a MOBA as possible while still retaining that "MOBA on the console that's different" feel.

:o

Bought this today, it's really fun. I haven't tried out all of the characters yet but I enjoy the ones I have tried out. It's a pretty simple game to pick up but the matches are pretty challenging given that it's multiplayer and playing 1 lane 5 on 5 is really intense. Would definitely love it if more of you guys got this so we'd have more people to play with :D

probably will pick it up later. Is is $30 retail or just on PS3 network?

I believe that the game can be bought for $15 on PSN, but the game (as far as I know) can only be bought with the season pass if you buy it in a store.

This game seems a hot mess to me. Can't really make out what is going on in 5v5 because everything is green and brown. The minimap and status icons are microscopic in 1080p on my 42" tv. Demo was enough for me to decide it isn't worth it. Shame, some of the concepts seem really cool like the loadout system. And of course the characters seem cool.
