I’ve been following the video game RUSE for a while, as it takes the concepts behind table top war gaming and integrates them into a computer and console video game.

There have been a number of videos released which show how the game play works in detail….and the game is looking superb.

This latest video shows how tactics play a big part of the game and how decoys can be used to gain the advantage of your enemy.

The trailer for RUSE is fantastic

In this post I mentioned how RUSE was going to use the new Microsoft Surface technology to put a modern slant on table top war gaming.

The Trailer for the game really shows this use of technology to full effect, showing how hand movements are used to facilitate battles, by virtually pushing your troops forward they charge into battle.

This game is a really good example of how touch screens can be used to their potential.

RUSE is an forth coming multi format Real Time Strategy game, which goes back to the routes of the genre by replicating the mechanics of table top war Gaming.

In a technolical twist the game appears to be compatible with the soon to be release Microsoft Surface Interface where users interact with the computer through a touch screen table top.

The video below shows how well this form of control really integrates traditional Table Top War Gaming with technology.
