Focus Home Interactive has said Blood Bowl will not appear in English-speaking regions until much later this year.
"Blood Bowl will be released end of Q3/beginning of Q4 in UK and North America," a spokesperson told Eurogamer, apologising that no "more detailed" information could be offered. That makes September or October the likely months of arrival, then.
Blood Bowl is a DS, PC, PSP and Xbox 360 take on the Games Workshop tabletop sport of the same name. As such, Blood Bowl is turn-based, bloody and steeped in rules and lore - all of which has been tastefully and faithfully recreated by French studio Cyanide.
French and German versions of Blood Bowl have been released on PC already, and early reviews on Metacritic are favourable.
Eurogamer Germany hopes to deliver its thoughts soon.

If they think I'm going to cave and buy the PC digital download because the Xbox version keeps getting pushed back they've got another thing coming. I am now going to disconnect my mouse and keyboard, because I am weak. :(

I have to admit, I wanted to sit it out for a boxed version, but I cracked. It is awesome, I'm loving the pants off of it, but still, no DD should be £40. Anyone who loves Blood Bowl won't be disappointed, and I've probably got my money's worth already, but I can't recommend that anyone spends that much on it.
And there's no bloody Dark Elves.... :( |

It's not an XBLA release anymore, as far as I know. I'm still very pumped for it and I wouldn't mind paying the full retail price providing it's any good. |

The current trend of more and more publishers releasing PC games for £40 is getting ridiculous! Charging £40 to £50 for a console game is at least, to a certain degree, understandable due to the nice big cut that Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft take in licensing fees.
The PC gaming industry isn't doing itself any favours, especially considering how much graphics cards cost these days. Do these people even know what the term "Recession" means? |

"Bought the download version, haven't stopped playing it. Compared to the amount of time I'll commonly spend on other games I'd say I've definitely got my monies worth from it. "
Me too. I've played this more than any game this year already,making it worth as much (if notmore) than any game in my console collection easily.

I actually pre-ordered it, and have been playin it ever since. Its a great break, and when I'm working at home, its a great 20min break filler :) the game is exciting and strategic, with a decent level of strategical depth. The AI seems solid and has managed to surprise me with underhand tactics. Even though 40quid might seem much, but I beleive I already got my money's worth.

This looks rather promising. It is planned for consoles, right?
As for the price. It is expensive for a PC game, full stop. Whether it is downloadable or comes on discs is irrelevant surely. You don't play the delivery system, you play the game. |
