Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance (2003)
"Sword of Vengeance is set in the time after the death of the great emperor Trajan (106 A.D.), It is in this time period where Arruntius is now emperor. This emperor is depicted as evil and as responsible for Trajan's death. His goals include: destroying Rome to make a new city named after himself; banning the gods, so that only he may be worshiped; and creating fear among the people, so that no one may stand up to him. In order to bring glory to himself, Arruntius has hosted the known-world's most spectacular gladiator games hoping that the blood and sand will quench the people's thirst for death-filled entertainment." |
Gladius (2003)
"Gladius may look like a game based on Ridley Scott's Academy Award-winning film, Gladiator, but, in fact, the game's premise and its execution are both original. LucasArts' game is set in a world where mythological creatures, like minotaurs and ogres, are nearly as common as gladiatorial pit fights. This strategic role-playing game, appropriately billed as an 'epic gladiatorial RPG,' lets you build up a powerful squad of gladiators, ranging from small and lithe ones on up to extremely large and powerful ones. You then equip them with a seemingly limitless variety of weapons and armor. As your warriors gain experience, you can have them learn all sorts of special abilities, and using these to their fullest potential in battle is a process that never ceases to be challenging. Some aspects of the game could have used some more polish, but these shouldn't deter anyone looking for a deep, involved, great-looking, and memorable RPG from getting Gladius." |
