Icrontic's CB Droege brings us the interesting new releases in gaming this week, featuring Dragon Hunter Tri and Puzzle Chronicles.
Cyanide Studios has released the Dark Elves add-on for its sports strategy mash-up Blood Bowl, now available for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
SouthPeak Games had today announced that the previously PC download-only title Blood Bowl will be coming to the 360 and PSP in 2010. There will also be a retail version of the PC game available soon too. Basically, Blood Bowl is based on the Warhammer series of the same name. It's like American football but with weapons, blood and lots of questionable rules (maybe that last one applies to the NFL regardless). The 360 and PC retail releases will arrive in January, while the PSP gets a tentative 'Spring' date.
The first qualification phases – open to all Blood Bowl coaches – have already launched for the Winter Championship, the first main tournament of the season. At the end of it the Winter Champion will be determined, during the Winter tournament final match at Games Day in France, and will be the first finalist aspiring to the title of World Champion.
SuccesFull.fr has just published the achievement list for Blood Bowl. The game features only 39 achievements and will reward you with the usual 1000 points.
IncGamers reports that Blood Bowl will be hitting UK store shelves in September.
Blood Bowl can be purchased online now, yet the media are not offered review copies until it hits retail outlets in the UK and US in September. Why? Game-Debate puts down some thoughts on the subject.
Cyanide and Focus Home Interactive are pleased to announce the opening of the registration to participate in the Blood Bowl multi-player online beta. Indeed, the beta is about to be opened! To make sure you will be one of the first to participate to it, just complete the registration form! During this multi-player online beta you will be able to trample the grass of the Human stadium by playing either the Humans or Orcs teams!
GamingShogun writes, Previously, we introduced you to two races: the Orcs and the Humans, classic enemies from the Blood Bowl world. Today, we are pleased to introduce two more races: the brave and stout Dwarfs versus the savagely agile Lizardmen. The two teams have completely different tactics that lead to spectacular face-offs when these two teams play each other. Dwarfs are incredibly strong and are naturally gifted with the 'block' ability, allowing a relentless offence against opponents. They can face off against the most fearful creatures and withstand high levels of punishment thanks to Dwarf armor and thick skulls! Their weakness is their slow speed and their poor agility. Opposing teams always have a hard time piercing through these veritable living walls...
