This strategy game combines Football with the Warhammer universe in a brutal Pigskin Footbrawl type atmosphere. For strategy fans I highly recommend getting this game for your PC. It was released on Xbox and PSP as well. But I find strategy games better on PC. I purchased this game last week during the Holiday Sale on Steam. Logged plenty of hours getting addicted to this one.
There are several races to choose from ranging from Dwarfs to Elves to Goblins, etc.. Each race has their own unique abilities and classes. Each player has a set amount of move points to move along the board. Encounters with opponents are resolved by rolling attack/block dice. You get bonus to your roll when you surround your opponent before attacking/blocking. The game is a little difficult early on getting the strategy down. But once you get the hang of it, it is as addicting as Civilization.
I haven't encountered any real big issues or bugs playing the game. Just a few frustrating failed moves here and there, but that is the fun in it. Each move you make has risk/reward. If you fail a dice roll your turn is over. If you succeed in making a risky move you feel a sense of reward if you can capitalize into a score or a turnover. If you make the wrong move before you complete you turns strategy you can be left defenseless as the wood elves chuck the ball down field.
I haven't played online yet, but I believe the level of strategy offline makes for some great chess duels awaiting online.

Have you ever thought that American football could use even more primal energy and a bit of fantasy violence? Have you ever thought, "This sport is fine, but what it really needs is a couple of rat ogres clawing at each other?" If so, good news: Blood Bowl is for you. This adaptation of the Warhammer-themed board game pits your team against another and encourages players to digitally pound each other into a pulp (oh, and perhaps even score a few touchdowns as well). It's fun and addictive because the board game is fun and addictive, so expect to spend many an hour glued to your monitor, cheering and cursing. However, an unfriendly interface, problematic AI, and a few other issues tackle Blood Bowl just short of the end zone.
