Footy heaven not far away...

Well i don't play very many computer games (at the moment cricket 2002 is the only game loaded on my computer!) but i have looking forward to Rugby 2004 (to be releases to coincide with the RWC i think...) being developed by EA for PS2 and PC and the Rugby league/NRL game that will be released sometime later this year being developed by some Australian Sony linked company HES to be released on PC, PS2, XBOX, and maybe others. Now from what i've seen and read from both these games, the sound REALLY frickin awesome. The look like definately the best games released for each code, and the amount of work that it looks has put in is impressive. The league one was meant to be released last year, but do to such stong fan input they decided to work longer to add even more features into the game. If you want to see the features of both go to http://www.easportsrugby.com/main.php and http://www.nrl.com.au/news.cfm?ArticleID=5723
