The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth 2 (PC)

This really is an excellent RTS, if you're a fan of the Command and Conquer series and the Lord of the Rings films then this is a must buy. Its got a fairly basic engine; you build your base, defend your base then attack your opponent!

The graphics are amazing compared to most RTS's out there. The game play is ...  Read the complete review
