Heatwave Interactive recently released Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising, a massively multiplayer online game that’s been in development since at least 2005, and it looks just as good as it looked back then. Unfortunately it’s 2011 now.
Rome. The Eternal City. Its elected leaders are the inheritors of a millennia-old tradition forming the basis of modern municipal and state government. Yet where senators once debated inside the august walls of the Curia, now city councillors play video games.
During its third quarter financial conference call, Ubisoft revealed that the next Assassin’s Creed adventure would see Ezio visiting Rome, taking the fight to the Templar, when he’s not busy taking out his friends online.
The twisted folks at Adult Swim who have brought us such Flash game awesomeness as Orphan Feast and Five Minutes to Kill Yourself, comes a twisted romp through ancient Rome in the form of Viva Caligula! Take on the persona of the infamous Emperor Caligula and slaughter your way through Roman citizens, guards, skeletons and prostitutes with up to 26 collectible weapons. As an added bonus, scream into your microphone to increase your “rage factor”. Collect all the weapons for special entrance into the orgy! Not to be confused with Viva Pinata.
