<a href="http://www.ea.com">Electronic Arts</a> are to release a sequel to their Lord Of The Rings themed RTS, <i>Battle For Middle Earth</i> which is imaginatively named as <i>Battle For Middle Earth 2</i>.
The big news here however is that whereas previously EA were granted rights to make games based on Peter Jacksons adaptations of the books, they have now been granted rights to adapt the books themselves - thus characters, battles and scenes not included in the LOTR movies can now be introduced into the games - a plus for fans of the books.
