Ausgamers:
The sport of Bloodbowl has been long forgotten in the real-world. But, long ago teams of Dwarfs, Elves, Beasts, and Ogres fought against Rat, Lizard and even Human men in a blood-soaked version of gridiron for the Chaos Cup.
Bias warning first up, I have been a fan of the Games Workshop board game that spawned this computerised version since it was released in 1987. At that time it was little more than Warhammer Fantasy Battles set on an American football field.
Since that time the board-game has seen a couple of iterations (The Astrogranite based second edition, and underground DungeonBowl being favourites), some other books and novels, an online flash-based league (FUMBBL) and a videogame version in 1995. I have bought and played all of these over the years, and as such was excited when Cyanide Studios announced an updated game on PC and Consoles for release this year.
