16 Months Ago, Electronic Arts from GameFly says (in Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II - Pre-Played) One ring to rule them all. And one person to guide them. Command the mighty armies and legendary heroes of Middle Earth in this epic LOTR experience set in an open, real-time world! Complete more than 25 missions straight out of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Choose to fight for good or evil as you lead one of four distinct factions, including the Riders of Rohan and the minions of Sauron. Manage your troops and resources and use the intricate 3D map to plot your strategy. Watch your soldiers react to their environment with lifelike emotions as you fight for the fate of the realm.

And Electronic Arts from GameFly says (in Lord of the Rings: The Third Age - Pre-Played) NOTE: This is a two disc game, but it only counts as one disc against your rental plan.

Based on the classic J.R.R. Tolkien book and Peter Jackson's award-winning movies, Lord of the Rings: The Third Age takes us well beyond the page and the screen. This time out, you can build your own company of heroes, and take them through Middle-Earth, intersecting with the original Fellowship and events in the original story, as you adventure in your own Middle-Earth tale! A special turn-based battle system also allows for more epic battles and strategic attacks, as you go up against the Balrog or defend Osgiliath.
