Are we SURE EA doesn't have copyright over the combined realms of "football" and "fantasy"?

@ sting. Blood Bowl is a Games Workshop produced, turn based strategy board game based loosely on 'American Football'.

Good old THQ

Man I remember I used to go to the local Comic & Games store and watch some guys play Blood Bowl every Thursday. I seriously can't wait for this to be released.

One question: Where is Mutant League Football?

Neuromancer @ Aug 13th 2009 2:12PM

Dead and buried like most of the great EA games of yesteryear

Hope it´s similar to Brutal Sports Football! Man, that is the greatest sports game ever! When a game lets you win either by scoring the most goals or by KILLING the opposite team, you know it´s a blast!

THIS WILL BE AWESOME. Love Blood Bowl.

The PC version has been available digitally from the developer's website for months. I love Warhammer, I loved Mutant League Football, but I don't love this, and I don't know why. Somehow they have managed to make a game about orcs and dwarves playing football unspectacular.
