Because how can you resist a game that not only enables you to pit hobbits against dragons on a regular basis, but also gives you the tools necessary to concoct a crazy strategy in which the little guys actually win? Whether you're a fan of the property, a real-time strategy buff, an Xbox Live warrior, or some combination of the three, this one is definitely worth checking out.

I have the game it's really fun and addicting. It makes you think and just mesmerize the landscape around you.Plus the army building and base defending never gets old. It's kinda like Halo Wars (which i also have) but lets you have more people...but they die easier...lol...anyways it may not be as hard and epic as the Legendary mode in Halo series it still a force to be reckoned with. :)
