7. Shadow Of Rome

Shadow of Rome relishes in the savagery inherent to the concept of gladiatorial combat, and what makes it such a bloody good time is the dismemberment system, which allows you to cut off the arms, legs and heads of your enemies.

You can cut off a combatants and beat him to death with it, squash his head like a tomato, and even cleave him clean in two, should you get your hands on a large enough weapon. By the end of any given battle the area is guaranteed to be covered in blood and body parts.

And that brutality is rewarded, so there is incentive to kill your enemies as violently as possible. To this day it remains the quintessential gladiator game, and is a must play for anyone with a penchant for blood and gore.
