A fellowship of sorts: LOTR Battle for Middle-earth Anthology announced

For a J.R.R. Tolkien geekmeister, if there’s anything better then getting a full set of “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy (+ “The Hobbit”), it’s probably getting a full set of LOTR: The Battle for Middle-earth on PC. It’s quite a big franchise that’s been kept alive by Electronic Arts across the years. And surely, even some of the fans might have missed out on some installments in the series.

Well, just in case you want to eat, drink, and breathe LOTR for the next couple of weeks/months, EA just announced their shipping of the LOTR: The Battle for Middle-Earth Anthology. It’s be on sale March 22. This compilation (worth for only US$ 39.99) puts together all of the installments in the series, namely:

• The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth
• The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II
• The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II Collector’s Edition
• The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II: The Rise of the Witch King.

While the first two in the list could have been enough, it’s glad to see the Collector’s Edition and Rise of the Witch King tagging along for the ride. The Collector’s Edition gives players access to limited special content, including “behind the scenes” features, various exclusive maps, and control over an exclusive fire-breathing Dragon unit on the battlefield.
