Luthien here with a few fan letters in response to Electronic Art’s Two Towers. Roland writes in with the following:
Hi! I’m really excited about the upcoming RotK game!!! I do all my gaming on my PC and I was a little disappointed that Two Towers didn’t come out for the PC. From what I saw of the game it looked great. Maybe the PC gamers are not as numerous as with all the other platforms but heres one PC gamer that would buy every game that had to do with the Lord of the Rings. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say this. Thanks again and keep up the
great work.
Good news, Roland! PC gamers will no longer be part of the minority–every game coming out this year will have a PC version. Thanks for your input! Rotk looks like it’ll be everything you’re hoping for, and more.
Traci writes in with the following praise:
i loved the two towers and i cant wait for the return of the king. im a huge tolkien fan and i loved how the game fit in with the movie. im hoping for even greater things from the return of the king.
Glad you enjoyed TTT so much! We’re looking forward to Rotk too. Thanks for your comment.
Finally, Tj offers the following:
I really didnt enjoy The Two Towers that much to be honest. It was way too easy! The first mission when ur Isildur u r invincible u couldnt die. and u couldnt in the other missions. the only half way hard one waz protecting the door of helms deep because of the trolls. ohh and the trolls are way too easy. 3 swipes their dead! to easy! more levels would be nice because i beat it in 2 days! WAY to easy! other than that i loved playing that many guys the mission were u have to save frodo waz a blast but to easy! make this game harder longer and a lil more guys and it will be the BEST!!!!!!!!!
EA games producers have been known to peruse our website, so maybe they’ll hear your comments and make it harder next time, Tj. Or maybe you’re just a really good gamer. But thanks for your feedback!

This weekend, Hall of Fire will take a look at Denethor II, son of Echtelion II, last ruling steward of Gondor. One of Tolkiens most interesting and enigmatic characters. His rivalry with Thorongil and the premature death of his wife shaped him for his stewardship which saw Gondor facing it’s most desperate moments.
In Denethor the blood of Numenor ran almost true and in his great pride he used the palantir of Minas Tirith. No doubt this aided him in preparing Gondor for war, but the struggle with Sauron caused him to age before his time and sink deeper and deeper into despair and finally madness.
How was his relations to his sons? Did he have the right and the strength to use the palantir? Did he fall into evil? Furthermore, did he have contact with Saruman? Why was he so set against recognising Aragorn as king of Gondor? We will discuss all this and more about his character who inspires such a wide specter of emotions among readers with his pride, his nobility and his tragedy.

Here is a report that comes from VERY reliable sources within the LOTR camp. In regards to this story we posted yesterday (which wasn’t even our story, it came from another site). Take a look at what our insider has to say:
This is nonsense. They are still cutting the movie and do not know how long it will be, but it definitely won’t be 4hrs & 20 minutes, nor should it be.
That knocks that rumor out the window, down the street and into someone’s pot of flowers!
