R.U.S.E. is an upcoming 2010 real-time strategy [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game"]video game[/ame] developed by [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugen_Systems"]Eugen Systems[/ame] and published by [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubisoft"]Ubisoft[/ame]. R.U.S.E. was initially scheduled to be released at some point towards the end of 2009, but it is now expected to be released Q1 2010 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It is a strategy game involving the players to use decoys and ruses to trick their enemies into traps. Due to the complicated nature of the game, it was feared it may drive away casual gamers, something which Ubisoft claim to have addressed. [1] There are six factions in the game, including the British and Germans.
