The Cooperatives head to ancient Rome to slice some fools.
Cooperatives: Ryse Son of Rome


Russ Frushtick is the director of special projects, and he has been covering the world of video games and technology for over 15 years. He co-founded Polygon in 2012.
This week on The Cooperatives, the boys are checking out the Xbox One-exclusive launch title, Ryse: Son of Rome. Does it encourage Roman-on-Roman violence? Does it feature truly next-gen butts? All valid questions that we hope to answer in the coming episode.
