The demo for the Star Wars: Battlefront-esque "Lord of the Rings: Conquest" is now available for download on Xbox Live. The demo is 1.25 GB. The game is available on January 13th in North America and January 16th internationally.

If you aren't too busy with your holiday gifts or recovering from a rowdy night of auld lang syne, Major Nelson brings word that you can now pick up the demo for The Lord of the Rings: Conquest. The game takes a page from the popular Star Wars: Battlefront series, letting you choose your side in massive battles. The game was pushed to 2009, but seeing that we're now in 2009, the release of January 9 seems that much closer. Check out the heavy 1.25 GB demo and let us know what you think.
