The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar outsells all in the US and Europe

It’s official, the number one selling PC title in both Europe and the US is Codemasters and Turbine Inc’s The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadow of Angmar. Recent industry reports from NPD, Chart-Track, GfK and Media Control have shown that it has outsold all other PC games across North America, Germany, United Kingdom, and France.

Midway chief marketing officer Steve Allison spoke about their product’s success saying that it is “the most successful North American pre-order program in Midway’s history. As the positive reports and reviews continue to come in, gamers are settling into the game and experiencing Middle-earth as never before.” The positive reports and reviews he mentioned come from pretty big names such as GameSpy, which awarded the game an Editor’s Choice award and a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. Computer and Video Games gave it a 9.2 out of 10 while U.S.-based GameDaily rated it at 9 out of 10.

Be sure to check out the game if you haven’t bought it already, since there has already been a lot of talk that this is THE World of Warcraft killer. We’ll have to wait and see though as more developments happen in the industry before we can say for certain.
