Gamers, your demands have been met -- Crave Entertainment has partnered with D2C Games, Inc. and Professional Bull Riders, Inc. to deliver a full-featured bull riding experience on your favorite videogame consoles. Coming to the Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 2, PSP, and PC, the game is scheduled for release in time for the PBR World Finals beginning in October 2008. 

Players will create their own bull rider, and compete as a professional rider or -- take a deep breath and wait for it -- a bull, at multiple events that span the United States. Yeah, that's right, we said it -- you get to be the bull. The game also features a multiplayer mode, which we're sure will prompt many drunken arguments over who gets to control the ferocious, testicle crushing beast.

In the press release issued on Friday, Crave Entertainment's president, Rob Dyer, chills us to the bone with the following statement:

"PBR has a dedicated fan base and the sport is poised to become the next NASCAR."

Quite frankly, we're speechless.
