Apparently EA has announced the new LOTR Battle For Middle Earth game for the Xbox360. This should not shock anyone, as the game is pretty much tailor-made for the console. EA also promises we will have screenshots from the gamer later today. Stay tunes. Click on read more for the press release.

It's a RTS game.  A shitty one, but an RTS none the less.

This wholesomely surprises me.... an RTS game on a console.  I hope it's done right so Westwood/EA bring Command & Conquer to the 360.  I'm certainly interested in how they plan to implement the play mechanics.

Well this sounds promising to me.  I really like RTS games and maybe they will find a way to make the 360 controller work well.

I haven't played an RTS on a console since Herzog Zwei on the genesis.  Any of you guys remember that one? biggrin.gif

Let's hope it works.
