Yes, this does seem to be a bit late since "The Lord of the Rings" has already been out for... a long time. Now, Sierra decides they can start putting together a GameCube game that relates to the movie. Sure this is a console game, but I am sure the PC version will follow shortly.

Perhaps they read a specific article in the latest issue of Computer Gamer. They posed the question as to why no one picked up the game right for a possible simultanious launch with the movie. Someone must have smacked their head on that one... DOH!
