Blood Bowl, the fantasy football game based on the tabletop strategy game, Warhammer, is getting the video game treatment, courtesy of Games Workshop and Cyanide Studios.  They’ve released a new trailer and announced that the PC version will arrive on store shelves on June 26.  Take a look at the trailer.

Ever since the days of Mutant League Football, I’ve been a fan of the odd sub-genre of fantasy sports games.  Blood Bowl looks to satisfy that obsession in two ways.  First off, there’s the standard real-time football game that should play at least somewhat similarly o the Madden series, but then there’s another way to play the game; as a turn-based strategy game.  Apparently, players will be able to emulate the original board game on their PCs and consoles, bringing a beloved and unique tabletop experience to an audience that would likely never play it otherwise.

No word yet on a release date for the Xbox 360, PSP or DS versions of the game, but I expect we’ll hear something relatively soon.  If you are a PC gamer, though, you only have to wait three more weeks before getting some of that sweet Orc cheerleader action.
