8 TV Shows That Would Make Awesome Video Games
3. Spartacus: Blood And Sand
As EA Sports delivered the latest UFC installment and Mortal Kombat continues to pull in the fans, it wouldn't be a stretch to see the same kind of combat mechanics be applied to the gladitorial arenas of the recent Spartacus series.
Just like in the UFC, an underdog can get lucky and topple the champion and Spartacus' lust for glory would translate brilliantly to a video game.
On top of that, Spartacus game would have the added complexity of different fighting formats as well as one-on-one hand-to-hand combat.
Just as Mortal Kombat lets players choose fighters with weapons and martial arts skills to suit them, you could pick your gladiator to match your fighting style, whether that be the dual swords of Gannicus or the rougher, more undisciplined style of Crixus the Gaul.
Players could build and advance their gladiator through training and story modes, as they try and establish the House of Batiatus as the greatest.
The mechanics are definitely there to make this game a reality and we think the gladiatorial setting would provide a refreshing variety on the combat games of recent years.
