I like the LEGO games, and I like The Lord of the Rings. I also like the look of "LEGO LOTR." The official title, LEGO The Lord of the Rings with the "the," however, I don't love, but trademarks are trademarks. I'm also confused as to how the One Ring fits onto Frodo's claw. Maybe I'm just nitpicking now.

Check out the E3 trailer , too, and find out why I'd better have a picture of Chris Thursten's stern look in my inbox tomorrow.

He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!).
