We remember the days when people just weren't sure about Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Gaming tie-ins of existing properties are always a bit of a gamble, but very few people were able to foresee developer Monolith's future success.

Indeed, its creation even went on to win our 2014 staff Game of the Year vote, along with a slew of other accolades from numerous different publications. And now, it's added yet another GOTY gong to its list of achievements, as it scooped the big one at last night's GDC awards ceremony.

Are you still playing Shadow of Mordor? Do you ever get tired of slaughtering Uruks? Wipe your blade clean in the comments section below.
