My Geek-o-Meter is going crazy! It’s being developed by Pandemic (the creators of the hugely popular “Star Wars Battlefront” series) for the Xbox 360 and PS3. They say it’s coming in the fall even though it was just announced today. I found this story at IGN. They have posted an interview with a developer… interesting stuff! They even spell Gandalf wrong!

Here’s a quick rundown of some features that were announced:

• 2 campaigns – good guys 1st; then you unlock the bad guy campaign (A “what if” Frodo failed campaign)
• Campaigns follow the movie timeline with battles added from the books and eluded to in the books
• Online co-op through the campaign with 4 players
• Split-screen local multiplayer
• Various 8 player online modes
• Class-based fighting with ‘vehicles’ (like horses and oliphaunts and what not)
• Heroes unlocked like Battlefront II: play as Aragorn, Legolas, the Balrog, and even Sauron

This sounds pretty awesome!
