                        I'm looking for a game to play and have seen the videos for LOTR TBFME, but I don't know if it's any good.  Anybody have it/know someone who has it?  Or suggest a better game to get. I just need something to spend my $50 gift certificate to best buy on.  (canadian 50 bucks)

                        Its bloody good better than War of the Ring I think and I really liked that one.
I love the Riders of Rohan in BFME. Its a really good game. I say get it unless you find something else to spend the gift certificate on

                        Yeah, I've already got the other good stuff.  There isn't anything else to get.  Very well, I shall go (hopefully) tomorrow to get this.
I watched the videos on their werbsite, they look pretty sweet.

                        It's pretty run-of-the-mill. Not worth buying, in my opinion; get Warcraft 3.

                        Already have it, but I ended up getting bored with it after awhile.  I have a short attention span.

                        Get a mmog then like WoW. If you can pay for it, they are the best games.

                        Too late, I bought it.  I'm installing right now.  I've already played WoW and played it too much so I started to dislike it.  I really enjoyed Rome Total War though, and this looks similar, only less of the large map and more fighting.  Oh well, I payed for most of it with my gift certificate so if it sucks ass it's not a big loss.

                        The only way to get bored of WoW is if you have played played characters from both Allience and hordea and have been playing them at level 60 for a few weeks. Other than that there is too much stuff to do.
P.S. can't wait till Blizzard comes out with the battlegrounds update.

                        Nah it just got boring.  I didn't do that much, but I did a lot.  After awhile the online play gets repetitive.  Same with CS:S which I've stopped playing.
