LEGO The Lord of the Rings gets Gamescom trailer, LEGOlas joke goes unmade

I like the LEGO games, and I like The Lord of the Rings. I also like the look of "LEGO LOTR." The official title, LEGO The Lord of the Rings with the "the," however, I don't love, but trademarks are trademarks. I'm also confused as to how the One Ring fits onto Frodo's claw. Maybe I'm just nitpicking now.

Check out the E3 trailer , too, and find out why I'd better have a picture of Chris Thursten's stern look in my inbox tomorrow.

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the '80s and '90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!). Tyler joined PC Gamer in 2011, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
