Spartacus Legends, an upcoming fighting game based on the popular original series produced and distributed by Starz Entertainment, will be launching for Xbox LIVE Gold subscribers as part of the pilot free-to-play program on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 and as a free-to-play title on PlayStation Network. This marks the first entry in the console space for Ubisoft. Spartacus, himself, Liam McIntyre, talks about the new game in the exclusive video interview below.

SAN DIEGO -- The actor who brings Spartacus to life in Starz' hit TV series is going virtual in Ubisoft's Spartacus Legends video game for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The new game will launch in tandem with “Spartacus: War of the Damned,” which sees the return of McIntyre, Manu Bennett (Crixus), Dustin Clare (Gannicus), Dan Feuerriegel (Agron), Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Naevia) and Ellen Hollman (Saxa). This year, Todd Lasance joins the cast as Gaius Julius Caesar, along with Simon Merrells, who will be playing Marcus Crassus and Anna Hutchison as Laeta. McIntyre checked out the new game at Comic-Con 2012 and talks about the experience in this exclusive video interview below.

For the past couple of years, 2K Sports has literally dominated the paint with its NBA 2K series, starting with teaming up with Michael Jordan for NBA 2K11 and eventually other legends in NBA 2K12.  But now, EA Sports, a company that’s been out of the simulation basketball game since it scuttled its NBA Elite 11 project, is about to hit the hard court once again with the recently announced NBA Live 13.  The real question is, does it stand a chance?

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has gone 3D. THQ has unleashed WWE All Stars for Nintendo 3DS. The new game comes packed with a roster of WWE Legends and prominent current-day WWE Superstars, including 13 WWE playable characters offered as downloadable content for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 titles earlier this year.  Cory Ledesma lays the smackdown on the jump to the third dimension in the video interview below.

We had previously announced that 2K Sports was, in fact, bringing a new Legends Showcase downloadable content pack to NBA 2K12 this holiday season, priced at a reasonable 800 Microsoft points, or $9.99, for basketball fans to enjoy.  But we had yet to see which legends would be joining the party, only the modes and features coming with the DLC.  Well, rest at ease, as today, we have the full list of legends joining the game with the new pack.

NBA 2K12 has been out for almost two weeks now, and the reviews have been pouring in, talking about how excellent the game is, and how we have so many NBA legends at our fingertips with it.  But the real question is, who's the greatest?  Well, thanks to 2K Sports, we have some unlikely insight in regards to the matter...though the question still remains...

Even though the upcoming NBA season doesn't look like it's going to happen, that hasn't dulled our excitement for the upcoming NBA 2K12, which is now just two weeks away from release.  You can download the demo now on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network and get a taste of what changes the gameplay have gone through (not much negative, we can honestly say), but one mode we can't wait to try in the final game is NBA's Greatest.  You're no longer just dealing with Michael Jordan's legacy, but rather the legacy of 30 classic NBA teams.  And the way 2K Sports has done this mode is unbelievable.  Basketball fans will love it.

Cologne -- 2K Sports took the hardwoods to Germany, literally.
