Blood Bowl

[Captain Calle]

Mythical creatures killing each other? Why, I think I would watch that quite often.

Why wouldn't you watch a football match where tiny Goblins kill Humans, Orcs, Elves and more with a chainsaw after getting thrown into the enemy's field by a troll? :laugh:

I read that it wasn't directly based off of Warhammer, but is very similar to it.
I really don't like sports, but this looks a little interesting. It added one thing that would make football extremely exciting: the ability to kill people.

Well I'm not sure where you read that... but they were wrong. Bloodbowl is an already existing game based in the Warhammer Fantasy universe. This is a direct port to a video game. I guess they may have meant not the same as regular Warhammer, and that would be right, since it's a ball game.

I dream of this all the time. But usually its megan fox and jessica alba/simpson instead of orcs and trolls. And they have oil instead of chainsaws. But other than that, Its EXACTLY the same.

I don't think I can wait two months, I might have to break down and buy it online...

So I finally got the game yesterday. I played for about 10 hours now and I've got to say... The game is great! It's fun, easy to play (yet hard to master) and it looks brilliant. Sure, it's not the super graphics of other games but everything looks great and you don't need an expensive high-end PC to play it.
Let me say this, I have never touched Blood Bowl before. This is the first time I've ever had to do with it at all. The controls are perfect and I immedately got into it.
It's worth buying.
