This real-time strategy game centres on the planet Arrakis and three houses going to war for the precious spice. Although a deviation from the books, the gaming universe has introduced a mysterious third faction, House Ordos. They follow stealth and deception, which contrasts nicely with the noble and more conventional House Atreides and "evil" and heavy-handed House Harkonnen. The cutscenes in this game really tell a cool story, all the while as the player takes territory upon territory on the planet Arrakis. There's mystery and intrigue - betrayal and suspense. It truly plays out like a tv series and does an outstanding job.
