It's an age old rugby question: if the best league team plays the best union team, who will win? Of course, you can't answer without being biased but in gaming terms it's a much easier question to answer. To that end, is Rugby Nations 16 or Rugby League Live 2 the game for your train commute home?

First agitation for rugby aficionados comes from the name: Rugby Kickoff. For the laymen, that's when the team kicks the ball to the other team to start the match (or restart after a score.) This is arguably the dullest part of any rugby match (except the bit when it rains and players just keep slipping over) and it's to the credit of the game's makers that that's not what Rugby Kickoff is. Instead, it takes you to the one moment of peace and serenity on a rugby pitch, the kick at goal (serene that is for everyone except the bloke kicking the pig's bladder...) but this time invites you to flick not kick.
