I was gonna ask this in the WoW thread, but I thought that would be taking it a little off topic

I really enjoy a good sports game meself, though I often get sneered at by by uber-geeky friends for saying so.
What sports games do you enjoy?

And Leto, I see you're playing Rugby 2005. Is it any good? I've been hesitating getting a rugby game until they've been out for several years, to get them time to get rid of any initial problems, but I've been thinking of getting this one. Is it just international rugby, or does it have club sides too?

I've justed tested 2 rugby game (Rugby 2005 and Rugby Pro Manager), I'm not personnaly fond of sport games (or sport in general, except... rugby). But you take money where you can...

Frankly, Rugby 2005 is FIFA 2005 but with a different sport. And in the french version, some localization error which got on my nerves (especially teams and tournaments name gone wrong). It's mostly international but you can access to Super 12 and European Domestic Leagues (bot in tournament mode though).

As far as console games, I normally stick to football (Madden' 05 or NCAA '05) or golf (Tiger Woods '05).

Haha yea whatever! I've tried to watch rugby and just don't find it nearly as appealing. I'm sure that a lot of it's being exposed to football for so many years before seeing rugby.

As I said before, you don't use hands to move the ball in football, hence the name.
Why people weren't able to come with an original name for something only done in ONE country and derivated from rugby, and stole a name used for one of the most popular game on the rest of the planet (although I'm personnally not fond of) ?

Cal, for rugby game, Rugby professional manager is the best from my selection.

Cheers Leto, I'll take a look at it

Pretending that you don't know doesn't help.
