Longing to return to Middle-Earth? EA has released Battle for Middle-Earth II, which draws on characters and scenes from both the books and the movie. Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!

Now that they have both sets of rights they can pull assets from the books and the films, so you get the best of both worlds. You have artwork and likeness from the actors and scenes from the movie, as well as being able to use units like Tom Bombadil.

That's right, Tom Bombadil is in there. When you summon him he sings and prances around the map before laying waste to everything he sees. Can I just say how awesome that is?

I think I will. It is very, very awesome.

In addition to Tom, Battle for Middle-Earth II has a well-executed hero play, good graphics, and... well, you'll have to read the review to find out!
