The F.E.A.R. devs will bring us LOTR MOBA Style.
The MOBA (Massive Online Battle Arena) genre has become the new go-to genre thanks to League of Legends' impressive critical and finical successes.

Warner Bros. announced earlier today that Guardians of Middle-earth is the next big MOBA game on the way. The title is being developed by Warner Bros. Monolith Productions and slotted to be released for both the Xbox Live Arcade and Play Station Network sometime this fall.

Remember Virtua Fighter 5? The game came out just a little too early to capitalize on the new fighting game boom that Street Fighter IV kicked off. Sega’s highly technical fighter had a lot of positive buzz among critics but never quite found an audience at release, with the PS3 version famously lacking in online play. Flash forward a few years and Sega is ready to take another stab at the game in a different format. Virtua Fighter 5 is coming to PSN and XBLA with some new features, and it’s coming soon.
