An MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), this one is for any Tolkien fan or a fan of games in this genre. While I will still maintain there is'nt a game out there to beat WoW (World of WarCraft) in terms of attention to details, LOTRO has managed to maintain the consistency and logic while adding a new dimension to the storyline which WoW seemed to lack. Graphics are breathtaking, characters are varied and offer a good blend for any advanced player forming a fellowship (guild equivalent), i.e. in advanced stages every character and every professions will have an advantage that they will bring to the group. I for one have an elf lore-master, a dwarf champion, an elf hunter and a hobbit hunter for my avatars. Overall, this is totally worth 7 days of your time (free trial product key duration) to figure out if you want to spend night and day and sacrifice all contact with society. The free game high-res download took about 50 minutes in my TimeWarner connect in Texas and installed in about 10 mintues, while I was in the kitchen making tea. I urge you to time this in such a way that you be able to fully use the one weekend you get with the 7-day trial key.
