By mrmcblonde All in all it was good to start with but I got bored with it. The graphics are good but in my opinion not really very “Lord of the ringsy”.

By Michael(noreply@blogger.com) I was wondering how the producers would get The Lord of the Rings to fit their thesis that mythological stories might have historical roots that can be explained by archeology and history.
