Blood Bowl PSP Coming Spring 2010

Blood Bowl from SouthPeak Games gives the term 'fantasy football' a whole new meaning. Instead of your typical squad of beefy dudes taking the field, Blood Bowl features Orcs and Goblins from the Warhammer universe. And this ain't your typical Madden, either: Blood Bowl is based on a board game, meaning that the emphasis is on strategy and positioning, rather than lightning reflexes. Southpeak surprised us all today by announcing that a PSP version of the game is in the works, headed to the PSP system later in 2010. Previously the game was only available as a Windows PC title.

Just in time for the human football season's end, Blood Bowl definitely offers a less than traditional spin on classic football. With a rich heritage of table-top gaming, turn-based gameplay, Blood Bowl will keep you on the edge of your seat from kickoff to final score. Players choose a team from a variety of Warhammer races -- dwarf, skaven, elf, and so on -- and face off against the AI or another player to prove their dominance. Blood Bowl brings some of the most vicious gameplay, dirty tricks and lest we forget - secret weapons - to the field in an all new way.

"We're thrilled to have a part in bringing a proper retail version of Blood Bowl to North American gamers on Windows PC, Xbox 360 and PSP." said Aubrey Norris, Manager of Human-Orc Relations at SouthPeak. "It's never easy to get all these races to agree on something - but if there's one thing they love its good competition with a lot of bloodshed!"

Blood Bowl's retail Windows PC and Xbox 360 packages will kick-off in January 2010 with the PSP system version taking the field in Spring of 2010. If you've never seen a goblin thrown into the end zone by a troll to score a touchdown, then prepare to be amazed. More details are sure to pop up as the teams get themselves in order and the pre-season action begins.

Blood Bowl is a strategy game that brings together sports and fantasy in a highly unusual way.

Ummm...is it my imagination, or isn't this already out? I'm pretty sure I've been playing it on my PSP today...

Hi guys. That's weird because I swear I just got the press release a couple of days ago. This announcement is for North America; perhaps Blood Bowl is one of those rare games that came out in Europe first?

Ahhh...this makes sense. Now, if they would just come out with the expansion races - I want my undead!
