only looked at screenshots so far, I am downloading a trailer to check out the gameplay.  keep your eyes out for info on this game. 

A brutal team sport unfolding in a parallel fantasy world based on Warhammer and American football, Blood Bowl invites gamers to form a team of players from races including: Orcs, Elves, Humans, Dwarfs and many other fantasy creatures, and launch themselves into battle in the bloodiest of arenas. This strategy sports game combines a fine balance of tactics and bone crunching action!

oh yeah... this looks good.  Not often does a trailer make me lol.  the cheerleaders on the side made me laugh, but the game looks like it holds a lot of promise and could be a blast compared to the "same ol Madden games"

I’m gonna have to load that up when I get home. Cant do videos at work.... they’re blocked by the proxy. I’ve been a fan of Warhammer for a long time and I’m the only proud Miami Dolphins fan left on the planet, so that sounds likea  good mix. War and football. =)

yeah, make sure to check it out.. I have watched it three times now and noiticed something different each time.  In the background the players are beating each other down.

Wasn’t there a classic game.... say... around NES days called the same thing but featured zombies and such?
