In case you're not too sure if you want to pluck down $60 on LotR: Battle for Middle-Earth II, the first real-time strategy game for the X360, a demo is now available on Xbox Live. To play the demo, head to Xbox Live Marketplace and go to: Demos and Game Videos > Newly Released Game Demos. The demo includes a fun and informative tutorial, the 1st mission of the "evil" campaign, and the "Buckland" 1-on-1 multiplayer map. As soon as I can trick Allison into putting Prey down for a few minutes, I'll be able to spend a little time with my friends from the land of Tolkien.
