88 for a preorder is pretty damn good

Not sure when the release date is , they all say 2012 . $88 is not bad but I'd imagine Big W would sell it for that when it hits the selves

GTA V will be cheaper than 88 on release for sure. Games as big as that one retailers get in a price war over. Look at the launch week prices of Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 as an example.

Plus it doesn't even have a release date yet. I'd hold off on a pre order for now.

Yeah I agree GD, those pics look good, check out the veins in JT and Slaters arms :woot:

I hope the game play got overhauled from the first game, I played that game for about a week, then left it for about 6 months, played it again for a week and it still sucked, so I then traded it in.

The game play in previous RL games have been poor , unrealistic. When I could get a frontrower to run 100m to score a try , I gave up playing them.

Let's hope they work on that .

I'll still buy it

Is there a cricket game for the kinnect? I was about to buy pontings cricket until the sales clerk pointed out you can only use it with the controller. Seems that cricket would be perfect for the kinnect....

Also, we got a sports game for the kinnect that has golf as part of it- you can hit out of the water- with one hand! what a joke- are there any serious golf games out there. This machines not a serious gaming device, a bit of a laugh for the family really. Shame.

Awesome. Franchise mode was one thing really lacking in the first game. Graphics look great. I hope you can customise current teams and players, some of the stats, etc were way off for the players.

I'm pretty sure that dude on the right is a tanned Watmough and the headgear guy is Matt Srama.

Ashton Sims in the Tigers jersey next to Watmough.

Typical of Benji to be ripping us up.. this cover is obviously having a go at us lol

Rugby League Live 2 - Trailer.

It looks pretty good to me, the player likenesses are the best I've seen in a RL game, awesome. They got one part right Benji getting run over the top off by Sam Thaiday, Toddy has both of his arm tats, they show Dave Taylor attacking the line and doing his left foot step, this should be good.
