The movie 300 made quite a killing at the box office and now we're seeing similarly games trying to be as successful. Enter Sparta, an RTS set in the ancient times by developer Eidos. IGN has a hands on of the game:

The three campaigns follows the exploits of important men inside the Greek, Egyptian, and Roman camps. Both the Spartan King Leonidas and Xerxes have probably become a little more familiar with the release of 300 even if their portrayal in that is more fantasy than fact. The campaigns tell the story of these powerful men from past to present. During our time with the game, we've been able to complete most of the Greek campaign and take a quick peek at the Egyptian and Persian campaigns. Any of the three can be chosen from the beginning of the game so each starts off with quick tutorial-like missions to help you become familiar with the control schemes and ideas behind the game.
