Cyanide BB
Just rented cyanide's BB for the 360, since it was finally released in NA. Utterly retarded that it's not available for download or purchase, apparently. I found it at the local blockbuster for rent, no future shop/best buy has it for keeps.

Anyway - the rules adaptation is almost perfect. It's a decent in-game realization. But the menus are terrible, the camera angles are fairly useless, the fact that there's only 8 races and gobbos have no bombardier is shameful. Also - why lizards and not undead? Why wood elves and not dark/high elves?

The AI is a complete joke, btw. There's no point to doing the single player unless you want to feel very good about yourself.

The really strange part is that I am totally addicted to it. I like most of the LRB 5 ruleset and being able to build a great team and use it in what is essentially sandbox mode. But seriously, this could have been so much more. I don't see GW getting anyone to play the board game this way. Just another sign of how completely they've given up on specialist games.

They hadn't given up on Specialist Games totally, judging from the C&D letter a while back :-P
But yes, the game is shameful...

I think the C&D letters to different websites a while back was because some weird copyright law. GW needs to show they are "protecting" their products every 10 years or something or they loose the copyright. Or some law yargon like that.
Cyanide released half done product, well less than a half, and the real-time mode was total waste of time. Should have skipped developing that and just make the real game better. Well atleast pc version is improving with updates, dont know about xbox.
