EA LA is bringing The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II, currently a PC-only real-time strategy title, to Xbox 360. Castle has plenty of know-how in the real-time strategy realm, being a co-founder of Westwood Studios, the studio responsible for the legendary Command & Conquer franchise. A team from Electronic Arts LA, headed up by Louis Castle, is looking to change that. While console first person shooters have managed to overcome their analog stick roadblocks largely by piggybacking on the insane popularity of a few key games, the versatility and speed of a mouse has never really been adequately reproduced in a console RTS. Real-time strategy games haven't exactly had the most illustrious life on consoles.
