PS3 Attitude says: "When 505 Games announced Supremacy MMA last year, our first thoughts were not positive. We won’t lie; we didn’t think we needed another MMA game. THQ has that genre sewn-up with their UFC games, and EA Sports’ MMA is a very good alternative. We could not see what Kung Fu Factory could do to supplant them."
Forbes -- Unfortunately, the hit Starz TV series, Spartacus, is coming to an end this season. In addition to the glistening gladiators battling to the death with gallons of gore and innovative dismemberment, along with a healthy dose of sex and nudity; fans have been able to engage with this franchise through an assortment of mobile, Facebook and online video games.
For this final season, Spartacus: War of the Damned has partnered with Ubisoft for a downloadable console fighting game, Spartacus Legends. In addition, the TV network has unleashed a social game, Battle For Nuceria (www.battlefornuceria.com), which offers new ways for fans to connect with the show that was created by Steven S. DeKnight (watch video below).
At the NYC premiere of Spartacus War of the Damned, actress Lucy Lawless was in town to talk about Lucretia's departure, the final season of the show and how video games will keep the legend alive in this exclusive interview.
show has never been the same without Andy Whitfield - RIP Spartacus
Yeah, its MUCH better now. More action, better sex scenes etc. Liam made me forget about Andy in three episodes. My only complaint is that he's not muscular enough and doesn't have enough scars.
I thought the back story with Gannicus was terrible but Liam really did do a fantastic job as Sparticus. Give it a chance. Andy Whitfield was amazing but Liam is filling out the role quite nicely.
It took a while but I was finally sold and pumped for more Sparticus when they were trapped on that mountain...
Australian actor Liam McIntyre had appeared in the HBO World War II mini-series, The Pacific, but until then, American audiences didn’t know his face. After tragedy struck the production of Starz’ hit TV series, Spartacus, with star Andy Whitfield losing his battle with cancer; a global search ensued to replace the titular role in the bloody and violent gladiator show.
McIntyre impressed show creator Steven DeKnight and stepped into the sandals as Spartacus last season. With the final season of the series, Spartacus: War of the Damned, set to debut January 25, McIntyre is going virtual in a new free-to-play downloadable console game from Ubisoft. The actor worked closely with developer Kung Fu Factory to create Spartacus Legends, which features his voice, likeness and actual moves. The actor explains how he went from selling games at GameStop to starring in one in this exclusive interview.
they look the same, stop yer bitchin'
Not that Spartacus is remotely the most interesting character on the show.
Hell, Gannicus feels like the main character now
I would have to disagree with the looking alike part, but they Gannicus I agree is a more interesting character.
Cant wait for the final season. He had a lot to live up to after Andy died but I actually think he has done really well.
