EA's Louis Castle knows a thing or two about real-time strategy games, considering he was one of the founders of Westwood Studios and cocreator of a little game called Command & Conquer. That game's inspiration came from a couple of console games, which might surprise you considering how popular real-time strategy is on the PC, not to mention how resistant it is to being translated to the consoles. Well, EA is hoping to kick-start the console real-time strategy revolution next month with The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II for the Xbox 360, and we recently got our chance to play the single-player game to see how this year's PC game translates to the console. You can also see for yourself in a handful of new HD-quality gameplay movies.
