Gladiator: Sword of Vengeance

This game is truly, truly terrible. Bad puzzles, worse combat, the epidemy of awfulness.

This game is really horrible. It has production value, and you could tell it was spruced up a bit before release. That means the graphics are pretty well done. On the other hand, everything else is complete and utter garbage. It's a pretty short game, and you wouldn't want to play it through a second time. It racks in around 8 hours. The sound is completely awful. It has the worst soundtrack imagineable, and the voice acting, even from the gladiator main character, is ridiculously bad. Not to mention that it takes NO SKILL whatsoever to mash the square button over and over to defeat an enemy, nor does it take any skill to move a block to complete a puzzle. And that's basically the gameplay in a nutshell. Don't rent or buy this game. You'll be sorry.
