Starts with family action in Aragorn's Quest.

Warner Bros. has announced that it will be creating a series of Lord of the Rings games - based on both literary and film rights - that will span multiple genres and platforms.

The first of these will be The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest, a third-person action-adventure for "kids and their families" to be released for Wii, DS, PSP and PS2 this autumn.

Players will take the role of Aragorn in his greatest quests from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, fighting with bow, sword and spear on foot and horseback. The Wii version will allow two player co-op with Gandalf. It's set in "a colourful, action-filled rendition of Middle-earth that will appeal to new and dedicated fans".
