Let's get it straight, WoW rips off Games Workshop designs, not the other way around. Blood Bowl has been around as a tabletop boardgame for almost 25 years and has a huge and active base of players.

Fox… I’ll give Blitz a look. I actually liked Blitz League 1… except for the fact that the gameplay sucked so badly! hunh? I’ll explain. I loved the whole “storyline” concept. I loved the art direction, I loved the history they created for the league (you could read about each team and player online) and how all the characters had personalities, even each team had a personality. They did a great job of that. It’s just when you actually tried to play the game that it sucked. I was probably spoiled by how tight the gameplay was on 2k5 where you felt like you actually controlled the game. Blitz was just so out of control and chaotic. (I actually did finish a 9 game season and made it to the second “tier”, though)

I also liked the humor in it. You’d see a guy snap his femur and it said he’d be out for 2 quarters. That’s a tough SOB.

So anyway… yeah, i’ll give Blitz a look. I just hope they tighten the on-the-field action.

The schism between hardcore sports fans and their distaste for other forms of gaming – RPG’s and the like is pretty damn funny

Don’t want to get all existential here, but the difference between pushing 1″ pixels around that simulate people and pushing 1″ pixels around that simulate trolls and the like is not that great. I understand that one is simulating “real” and the other make believe – but ultimately the console platform dictates it’s all entertainment and fantasy

That said – game might make for a fun rental if it comes to consoles. Looking forward to the WAR MMO for sure tho’

If you watch the trailer you can see parts that are actual gameplay. It will be a strategy game with CGI cut scenes.

I find entertainment in coaching football…my profession. One loss in two years. Four years of coaching, five losses. Defense wins championshi….screw defense; I am an offensive coordinator.

I’m sort of interested and I think this might be cool. Of course, I also think that people(supposedly “grown” men) attack others maturity for trying to find some entertainment value in a non-EA sports game. Neway, I’d be interested in more information on this game and Backbreaker, which looks really sick. If I had more money, I’d try to get both of those after I buy Madden(but $60 a game for four football titles, plus Blitz II, two of which will have been completely replaced next year is expensive). As it stands, assuming I ever acquire enough extra cash, I’ll just be buying Backbreaker or NCAA 09 as a companion to Madden.

Since I brought up Blitz 2, are any of you guys going to consider picking up that?

I love almost all sports games, and I even played this game when I was younger. I will definately give it a chance. For those of you that don’t have time for strategy, go drool in front of your TV after you put Madden into your gaming console of choice.

I think it could be a good game. I might pick it up.
