Blood Bowl now available for digital download.

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.

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.

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).

Re:Blood Bowl now available for digital download.

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.

Re:Blood Bowl now available for digital download.

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!
