All of us were grabbed by the big screen sensation of Gladiator starring Russell Crowe as Maximus the former general of the roman army until the king died and his evil son turned against him then for him only to become the great gladiator. It appears there is a new breed of gladiator and it comes in the form of Gladius the Lucas Arts upcoming role-playing game. No there’s no Russell Crowe staring in this just Ursula and Valens, you get to choose which character you would like to play as. Ursula is from the northern land of Nordagh and the daughter of a great barbarian king, whilst Valens is the son of one of the imperials greatest gladiators.
