EA's The Two Towers
Crasius

I, like many Gamecube and/or PlayStation2 and/or Xbox owners, have undoubtedly played the Two Towers game for a console. On one hand, I find it exciting to be able to PLAY as one of the characters from Tolkien's immersive world, but on another hand I feel apprehensive about dealing with a videogame based on such an amazing literary experience. What I would like to ask the people of this forum is, what do you think Professor Tolkien would think of the videogames?


Also, I think it would be cool to see the Silmarillion chapter "Of Beren and Luthien" turned into a movie, that would have to be my favourite portion of the dealings with the Silmarils.
