LucasArts is a development company that is not known for getting where it is by taking chances. Sure, plenty of off-the-wall titles have been released under their moniker, but when you consider the huge amount of money they consistently make on games that are based on the Star Wars franchise, the occasional Sam & Max or Maniac Mansion are hardly risky investments. Nevertheless, their newest multi-console excursion is an original project altogether, set in a world where mythological gods and demons play second stage only to epic gladiatorial pit fights where vying powers seek to destroy their opposition via deadly blades and powerful magic. This is a game where the player lives or dies by the Gladius.
