The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Ships For Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC Worldwide announces the global multiplatform release of The Lord of the Rings: Conquest, the action game based on the film depiction of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings series. Here's word on the game, which follows the paradigm of Pandemic's Star Wars Battlefront games: "Players can choose to control their favorite heroes and villains including Aragorn, Gandalf, the Witch-king, the Balrog and even the Dark Lord Sauron. Players can also engage surrounding characters in the world such as wargs and oliphaunts, control catapults and balistas, and even play as giant creatures such as cave trolls and Ents. As well, fans can play through the campaign modes cooperatively via online or split-screen and relive their favorite battles competitively via four-player split-screen or online with up to 16 players." More can be found on the game's official website. Those seeking to sample the Windows edition are out of luck, however, as last week it was revealed there will be no PC demo for the game.
