Opinion: Challenge progress

Written by blaney1129@gmail.com (Becky)
Note: I've read 18 books so far. I had initially wanted to read The Once and Future King by T.H. White and The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. But I just don't see that happening. Note: I've read 9 books. I'm lacking the Lord of the Rings trilogy, however.

The Return of the King (The Lord of the Rings, Part 3) by J.R.R. Tolkien [reviewed by Kynaratholis]

03 Dec 2007 21:28:16 PST

Kynaratholis's review: "A Tolkien original work. Long winded and over detailed in an ever-surprisingly good way. The story and narration is pretty good, but the end is kind of jumbled, though much better than the movie's."

Opinion: EQ2 vs. LotRO

13 Aug 2007 23:53:00 PDT

Written by Tobold@GMail.com
Lord of the Rings Online is the more accessible game of the two. I would also say it has the prettier graphics, but beauty being in the eye of the beholder I'm sure of getting some comments disagreeing with that statement. LotRO's ultimate strength is it's Tolkien license. LotRO does an excell...

Written by Brian Crecente
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-Earth II hit stores today and if you were lucky you got yourself one. I'm sure there are going to be plenty of hardcore computer RTS fans out there who will say you can't do real-time strategy on a console, but I think this game proves you can.
