‘Lord of the Rings’ now a video game

U.S. tech giant Amazon has announced it is developing an open-world style video game based on the classic "Lord of the Rings" saga.

J.R.R. Tolkien's stories of mythical creatures struggling with the mystical power of the rings have become a staple on the video game scene, most famously the tie-ins with Peter Jackson's epic film trilogy in the early 2000s.
