Electronic Arts Top Games of 2004

UGO has kicked up a new article that previews many of EA's upcoming titles in 2004, including the highly anticipated role-playing game, Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. An excerpt, as usual:
Another element which hasn't played much into the other Lord of the Rings games is loot collection, and The Third Age puts a large emphasis on decking out our squad in sick gear. While you'll start the game in little more than robes, as you progress and find items, your character model will actually begin to accrue armor and weaponry. While it's all well and good to find a +2 orc's bane sword, where's the fun if it looks exactly like the +1 sword? By the end of the game, your party of six will look like unique and deadly snowflakes.
