Try R.U.S.E. for free this weekend on Steam
We’ve been hearing about R.U.S.E. for quite some time now. This real time strategy game from Ubisoft caused a splash in 2009 when it was shown being played on a giant Microsoft touch screen table. Though that is still possible if you have thousands of dollars to spend, normal people can try the game out for free this weekend on Steam.
Ubisoft’s Q1 2010-11 financial report overview
Today Ubisoft announced the results of its first 2010-2011 financial quarter. Overall the company earned €160 million ($200 million) in its first quarter. Ubisoft saw a 93% increase in revenue compared to its first quarter in 2009. This is partly due to the success of Splinter Cell Conviction which sold 1.9 million units. Older games such as Assassin’s Creed 2, Just Dance and AVATAR also maintained decent sales throughout the quarter.
