I have quite a few LotR games. For PC I have Return of the King, which I am extremely bad at and can make no judgements on, BFME 1, which I enjoyed a lot, and BFME 2, which is an excellent game and one of the best RTS's I've ever played. I don't have Rise of the Witch-King, but I hope to get it sometime. For Gamecube I have Two Towers, which I like, and The Third Age, a movie based RPG that I like, but has far too many elements of canon breakage to even mention.

I am currently playing the beta of Lord of the Rings Online, the game is pretty good (the NDA has been lifted, so I can speak freely about it ) I've seen so far only small parts, but I am so excited about it, I absolutely love it. Of course there is some stuff to fix for the release but it is great.

I have played also LotR: The Fellowship or something, but the game appeared too stupid, I quit at the very beginning when I had done all quests in Hobbiton and had to leave it.

I don't like strategy games but I considered testing War of the Ring and The Battle for Middle Earth 1 and 2, especially the second one sounds quite promising. Probably I will give them a try some day...

The best game ever would be Middle Earth: Total War, the campaign mode would be immense

BFMEII and ROTW do have the War of the Ring mode as a feature.

In an odd sense, it was The Third Age that made me want BFME. At first, I thought that Third Age would rock, but then I went to the main site and realized that not only would it be RPG, it wouldn't have the main characters. Depressed, I checked out BFME, and I was much more pleased.

In Black Label's FotR? Frustrating, isn't it? It took me a while too. It's all a matter of timing.

I have that as well as The Hobbit for x-box - I love The Hobbit. The graphics are cartoony without being rediculous, the music is gorgeous, and it's at my level of gaming. >.>

I like the look of FotR - the Barrow-wights and the wights in the Old Forest still creep me out. The worst part about it is that Moria is so dark - I can't see anything and I keep getting lost!

I've played TTT and RotK - pretty blah. Tho my brother and I enjoyed staying up late quite a few nights trying to get past the Mumak battle in RotK before we finally looked up cheats.

Ditto. Feh on you, turn-based twice-cursed pincher-scimitared uruk-hai.

As for computer games, erm, no.
