Cyanide's PC version of Blood Bowl is now available for digital download from the developers for $49.99 from its website here: http://bloodbowl.nexway.com/index2.html?REF=671981&Cur=840. (Don't pay attention to the countdown on the page, it's already gone past the activation time.)

It will also be available in the future as a boxed version and through Steam in September. A 360 version should also be available, and a nerfed (no league play or customization, I think) version for DS and PSP will come out, too.

Man I wish they'd do a Mac version. Still can't wait for the DS version though.

BB on my DS?





















...Umm... I think I have to go change now...sticky...

Nerfed on the 360? That kind of sucks. I guess I'll just have to Steam it.

Actually, I meant to imply only the DS and PSP versions are nerfed. The 360 version should be the same as the PC version.

argh, release the fucking 360 version already!

Is it any good? I played Grave Yardage many years ago and I enjoyed it, but really never paid any attention to the original BB comp game either.

Oh. Cool deal then. I don't trust my PC to be able to run it (or survive much longer - seven years is a long time).

I downloaded the PC version a couple of days ago. I've yet to play the turn-based version [that's for this weekend], but the real-time version is exactly as much goofy fun as you'd hope it would be. If you're expecting a Skaven Madden '09 or some such, you're going to be sadly disappointed, but it's unquestionably fun--and a game that should have some good staying power for what it is. The online players were already out in force on the first day of availability; I hope the community has some legs.

I started a single player turn based campaign. Havn't tried mutiplayer yet not the 'real time' version which looks wierd.

The interface between matches is odd - not entirely intuitive and there are certain spots where if you quit the game it forgets to give you the option to save - as I found out yesterday!
The matches themselves are fucking awesome though. I wish you could modify the look of the players AFTER they have begun their carrer so I could more easily distinguish those who have been upgraded from those who havn't, apart from that minor complaint I'm very happy with it. I hope they do some expansion teams, I want to play undead!
