| Ten Ton Hammer named Siege of Mirkwood to be the best expansion of 2009. "Excellence in an expansion can be measured by its innovation, attention to player requests and implementation. It's almost universally true that expansions incorporate new systems or new content of some sort apart from just adding new playfields. . . . what makes this expansion the top on our list of 2009 is the upgrade to the combat system and the Skirmishes. . . . Turbine continues to deliver on their commitment to their games. LotRO is no exception as its story telling is among the best"
