G4 and Spike TV’s pre E3-show exclusively revealed a teaser trailer for the upcoming Guardians of Middle-Earth game, a DOTA-like title where key characters from the Lord of the Rings franchise will fill the roster.

Right off the bat, the trailer opened up with a battleground that looked like an alternate take on the Gates of Mordor, with the Eye of Sauron looking down on Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, and two unnamed characters as they battled against an evil tag team of enemy forces. While it probably wasn’t meant to be unintentionally hilarious, the best part of the entire thing was Gollum tackling Gandalf and later chucking a boulder at the wizard.
