If you like the team-management side of Blood Bowl but not the turn-based strategy of matches, and would rather games were free than costing money, then, er, hey! Cyanide is working on a free-to-play version of the Games Workshop tabletop game which focuses purely on management, aiming for release on PC, Mac and tablets some time from April to June.
When a game vaguely resembling Dungeon Keeper is announced, we often lose control of our mental faculties and get in a tizzy hoping it'll come close to Bullfrog's glorious dungeon management strategy-sim. They never do. So listen with interest but keep your cool for Paradox Interactive's announcement of Impire, an dungeon 'em up made by Blood Bowl and A Game of Thrones developer Cyanide.
The classic football-fantasy crossover is getting another release: Blood Bowl: Chaos Edition. The new title coming to PC will feature three new races, for a total of 23 in all. As the name would imply, one of those races is the Chaos Dwarves, an anticipated faction addition for long-time fans.
Blood Bowl developer Cyanide is flexing its Games Workshop license again, taking that violent sport underground to play with strange new rules in dingy dungeons. Yes, daft wizards have put their heads together and come up with the sport of Dungeonbowl.
In making a game based on Game of Thrones, Cyanide Studios has the unenviable task of trying to craft a licensed game off a property that is both critically acclaimed and beloved by geeks. It's probably impossible to please people with such high stakes, but a new trailer at least shows they have the gist of the show down.
Cyanide Studio did a decent job of turning a tabletop game into a video game with Blood Bowl, and soon we'll get to see its stab at another adaptation in Confrontation. Based on the vintage miniatures wargame by Rackham, it's coming to PC on April 5, publisher Focus Home Interactive announced today.
Atlus announced that its A Game of Thrones RPG based on the popular book and HBO TV series will release May 15 on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. It's being developed by Cyanide Studio, which also developed A Game of Thrones: Genesis.
If you've been hanging on the edge of your throne in anticipation of a peek at Game of Thrones, the video game adaptation of fantasy's favorite soap opera from Blood Bowl developer Cyanide, give your royal rump a rest. Following a string of screenshots, publisher Focus Home Interactive has released the debut trailer, packing two minutes of in-game goodies.
The HBO series A Game of Thrones lends itself to video games. It's a solidly geeky property, a huge success for the "not TV" network, and it's got "game" right in the title. So if you thought the two announced Game of Thrones games were enough, oh how you were mistaken. A free-to-play MMORPG and a social networking game have been added to the pile.
After a beloved book series, hit HBO adaptation, and one Emmy win, the only logical next step for A Game of Thrones is video games. George RR Martin's books have already inspired a strategy game (A Game of Thrones: Genesis). Genesis developer Cyanide has now announced it is also working on a console and PC RPG to boot.
A Game of Thrones: Genesis, the RTS based on the best-selling series from George R. R. Martin, is launching later this month. Though we've seen a handful of in-game screens for the title, today publisher Focus Home Interactive has released a new trailer featuring the game in action.
The Cyanide Studio-developed PC-exclusive launches on September 29, 2011.
Ooh, everyone's going mad for A Song of Ice and Fire. The fifth novel in George R. R. Martin's fantasy series stormed the shelves in July, HBO's television adaptation is introducing a new audience to its incestuous politics, and now the video game's incoming. Publisher Focus Home Interactive today announced that A Game of Thrones: Genesis, Blood Bowl developer Cyanide's real-time strategy adaptation, will arrive for PC on September 29.
Having demonstrated a knack for adapting tabletop games to video games with Blood Bowl, Cyanide Studio is now turning its hand to another vintage board game, Rackham's Confrontation.
The fantasy miniature wargame will become a real-time strategy game with RPG elements. If you, like me, are unfamiliar with Confrontation, here's publisher Focus Home Interactive's explanation of the video game: Read more »
Having revealed in May 2009 that it had picked up the interactive rights to George R. R. Martin's fantasy novel series 'A Song of Ice and Fire,' Blood Bowl developer Cyanide Studio today revealed the first fruits of that arrangement--the strategy title A Game of Thrones: Genesis. Read more »
Blood Bowl developer Cyanide Studio has announced an expanded 'Legendary Edition' of its violent sports strategy title based upon the Games Workshop tabletop game.
The Legendary Edition adds a 'Story Mode,' casting players as a freelance coach who will "have to lead several famous teams and take up many challenges through a story revealing the origins of Blood Bowl, the Old World and its many races." Read more »
