Since I can't tell from the screens, I'm curious if Spartacus will be modeled after Liam McIntyre, Andy Whitfield, or both.. I really hope the latter. Not really impressed with the visuals but if the gameplay is solid then I won't mind, so I'll be looking forward to some gameplay footage.

If they have a decent control scheme and some good skill trees and unlocks instead of it merely being a slash and block until one of you dies it could be decent.

First movies into games now american series into games... Sigh.

If they end up good then I dont mind (The Walking Dead Episodic series is meant to be good) but if they end up bad then its embarrassing (Game of Thrones RPG).
