Planet Of The Apes: Last Frontier makes the evolutionary leap to PC today

Age of Gladiators II: Rome

Age of Gladiators II: Rome is a single-player strategy/management sim set at the height of the bloody gladiatorial games in ancient Rome. As your fighters increase in level, it will be up to you to decide how to forge their attributes and abilities. Build your story. Build your empire.

I almost ended up skipping the semi-recent Planet Of The Apes films, though I’m glad I didn’t. The trilogy told a surprisingly solid story of self-destructive, tragic war between a declining human race and rapidly evolving primates. Plus, the second was basically a post-apocalyptic Lion King. Planet Of The Apes: Last Frontier (hitting consoles last year, and making the leap to PC today), is an interesting anomaly – it’s effectively a fourth film, or at least a follow-up miniseries. It’s an interactive movie in the most literal sense, more film than Telltale-style adventure. It’s out now.
