Lord of the Rings game??

Didnt see this coming. Well the guys over at GameSpot , seem to have the full story with screenies.

"For decades now, schools, booksellers, and libraries throughout the world have been giving voracious readers access to one of the most developed fantasy worlds ever penned--Middle-earth. The Lord of The Rings is the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, who inspired nearly all fantasy storytelling since then with his epic tales of hobbits, friendship, and power. Universal Interactive will be publishing games based on all three chapters in the trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. No doubt spurred into action by the incredible popularity of last year's movie and the upcoming sequels, Universal will try to capitalize on the current Tolkien popularity by offering games that closely adhere to the author's original vision. "

Get you fix HERE

As he robs them of their gold. The Autumn wind is a Raider. Pillaging just for fun. He'll knock you 'round and upside down. And laugh when he's conquered and won. My Rig
