After you're done exploring Middle-earth, our December issue is filled with a bevy of other features, previews, and reviews. Our 2013 Holiday Buying Guide offers all the best gifts for the gamer in your family, no matter the budget. As we come near the end of another generation of games, we look back on the emerging cult classics of recent years past. Plus, we test drive the Oculus Rift, take another look at Valve's Steam Machines, and examine the art of creating strategy guides.
Even with the next-generation of video games about to begin, we look ahead into later this year and 2014 with previews of Thief, Assassin's Creed Liberation HD, Tropico 5, Child of Light, and more. Plus, find out just how good we think The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds turned out in our review for the long-awaited 3DS game.
