That RUSE beta was fun for the people who managed to get in. For everyone else (and those who might have missed any details of the beta), there's the beta hands-on preview.
A short snip from the article:
"Before you say "oh noes, not another WWII RTS", be aware of what they are attempting to achieve with the game. The whole point of RUSE is to trick your opponent into thinking you are doing something you are not. During WWII the allies utilised cunning methods to trick the enemies into thinking they were better equipped than they really were by deploying dummy tanks for example. RUSE adds elements such as this and other tactical features to keep the enemy at bay and lead you to victory."
Just a little while ago, Major Nelson posted on Twitter that Dante’s Inferno and R.U.S.E. have been added to the ever-growing list of backward compatible Xbox games. The games are available for purchase through the digital store, or just insert your old disc and the game should automatically download. As a [Continue Reading]
If they would add Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge and Ninja Gaiden 2 to BC I'd jazz my pants.
Surprised that RUSE has been added. Wasn’t that game taken off Steam and the Microsoft Store a few years back due to publisher rights issues?
A look at some great, Sony strategy titles. All games are ranked according to gameplay, graphics, and overall replay value.
10) Disgeae 4: A promise Unforgotten
7) Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention
5) Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice
Two problems with this
Detention was a PSV game and in what world was Disgaea 3 better than 4?
Loved Deadblock and Awesomenauts especially - but I'm glad to see that Plants vs ZOmbies was tops! I was so excited when this was added to PS+, and really I feel that just about anyone can jump into it. Not too over the top military, great gameplay and simple mechanics.
What is the answer to 99 out of 100 questions? Money…
You need look no further than the strategy gaming genre for confirmation. I recall a time. A very long time ago, when finding a good strategy game was as easy as stopping at an Electronics Boutique, and going to the strategy section. You could pick out almost any game and not miss.
These days that’s not the case. Why? Well, money, and “they” think we Americans are stupid.
I wonder it XCOM will deliver, and finally fill that void missing in consoles. Nothing really worthy in the strategy genre.
All those games that IGN and gamespot rate with a 7 or 8, like Halo Wars and such, it should be more like 3's or 4's.
Those games utterly suck. About the only game that has gotten it right on the console is R.U.S.E
It's still here, I enjoy playing the Total War series so much. The mods for each one keep it fresh, and the Third Age Total War mod for Medieval Total War II (Based off the LotR) has kept me busy for weeks. Continuous DLC for Shogun Total War II adds days of game play and makes it feel like a new game each time you run it. Games like Tropico and Sim City can have you invested in spending time building and sustaining massive cities for weeks/days as well. When Rome Total War II comes out at retail, the strategy genre will boom yet again, and will usher in a new era of what a RTS/Strategy game should be considered.
I miss dune 2000! I hate going through hoops to try to play it. The only game that kept me so captivated that i played for over 24 hours straight!
can't wait until i get my hands-on with this game!
I know the guy who "won" the leader board for the RUSE beta :)
It sounds thoroughly intriguing actually, must give this a try.
Interesting idea. Going to have to give this a whirl.
Hmm, a game based on bluffing? Fake tanks?
