Rugby 08

Ever wondered what it's like to be at the bottom of a pile of sweaty, farting, grunting men? Neither have we. No doubt this disc sells like hotcakes overseas, but here in the U.S.? It could come packaged with a free shoulder rub from Jessica Biel and it would still probably sell two copies at most. But, hey, if you are genuinely aching for a good scrum, you've come to the right place, kids. Rugby 08 out-scrums 07 in almost every way imaginable. EA has fixed some core game play mechanic issues and given the graphics a face-lift. No kidding, for a PS2 title, it's actually not awful looking. They've also added improved stadium models and a new World Cup Challenge mode; and since EA has the official license for the game, that means that 2K Sports will have to put out Rugby All-Pro 2K8, featuring "pros" like Fudgie McBride and Dingus O'Halloran.
