Lord of the Rings: War in the North

Lord of the Rings: War in the North was a well made game, in a lot of aspects.  You play as one of a group of three adventurers, the archetypes you would expect: dwarf warrior, elven mage, dúnedain ranger.  You can also change between these characters if you quit to the main screen.

I kept with the dwarven warrior the entire time and just enjoyed the story playthrough, playing the whole thing.  Combat is simplistic and fairly repetitive button mashing as a warrior, but sprinkled in with bits of "critical hit" slow-mo to make you feel extra awesome.  

The voice acting and the story are top notch.  The way they interwove this story with events in the main story gave it a sense of urgency and a scope beyond the game which was arguably kind of short and very on rails.
