Guess what, kids? There's actually a game releasing for the Xbox 360 this week. You'll notice that "game" is singular, as there is only one game out this week. It's appropriate enough though, as the game itself happens to be about the One Ring. Yes, this week marks the release of Lord of the Rings: Conquest. If you've played the demo, you've got a pretty good idea of what to expect. It's essentially Star Wars: Battlefront only with fewer Stormtroopers and a lot more hobbits. Conquest has something that Battlefront definitely doesn't though: You can be a Balrog. A Balrog.

Somehow, Battlefield 1942 became Star Wars Battlefront and SW:Battlefront became every other control-point shooting game under the sun. FTW?

I plan on getting it because I liked the demo. And with added online co-op through campaign and other modes its all good to me.

I didnt really feel that enthused from playing the demo.
But I think it would at least warrant a rent later on.

I personally hated the LotR movies. (sorry guys)
But i have enjoyed some of the games, and I effing love the SW:Battlefront series, so i'll probably pick this up, even if i can't use a jet pack or a lightsabre in this one :(.

I remember countless hours I put into Battle front with great joy, but for some reason the demo did not cut it for me. :(

I played the demo for hours and preordered the game a few days later. I think it will sell well because there were tons of people playing the online multiplayer demo. It was actually a little tricky getting into games at times. So I don't see why it wouldn't sell.

Demo ain't bad. I will pick it up. Co-op is a huge plus for me.

Likely getting it launch day, but can someone explain why there's only 4 classes? That seems so spare compared to Battlefront.

I enjoyed the demo. Not getting it right away as I still have so many games to play. But I may eventually, at least later on down the line when a used price is less.
At least we have something coming out though. That's nice for a change. (Out of the last few weeks anyway.)
