Anyway, annoyingly, the article here doesn't say exactly WHICH Sierra games Rebellion now has. They mention a few -- Ground Control (series), Evil Genius, Empire Earth (series), and Lords of the Realm/ Lords of Magic (!!!!).

Ground Control and expansion, Evil Genius, Empire Earth: Gold Edition, and Lords of Magic are on http://www.gog.com now. However, they're actually charging for Ground Control, even though it was made freeware several years ago. That's not very nice... I guess their excuse is that they're including the expansion too, but still... why is the original game not available free there?

Anyway though, LoM is interesting, but I always thought it wasn't very good compared to LOTR 1 or 2... right from when I first played the demo, I was disappointed in comparison to the LOTR games. Of course, I own both of those, plus the expansion (LOTR3 doesn't count... :(), so I don't need those... but as for LoM, it's cool it's there I guess, Impressions was awesome, but yeah, I do prefer LOTR. I don't like things like how it's more RPG-ish so you can only control areas where your units actually are, etc. If it was just a more standard grand strategy game like LOTR 1 or 2 it'd be more fun, I think.
