Xbox World has 85(!) movies on it this month. And boy some of 'em are good 'ns.
I almost wet myself at the Xbox Doom 3 trailer. Nuff said.
Half Life 2 looks to be overtaking halo 2 in my most wanted game list. Watch the 10 minute trailer (its PC footage though) and see why. Its unbelievable.
Some of you may be gasping at my above statement. There is Halo 2 footage on the DVD, however there is only a few snippets of the 2003 E3 footage mixed in with the trailer we saw aggges ago. The footage is also pretty poor shaky cam quality and not enough to get me going gaga over. I'll wait for a DVD with the full 8 minute goodness before I go loopy.
Loads of other stuff on it too. True Crime looks hot, and Full Spectrum Warrior will be a must buy too. There is loads of other stuff I have yet to fully watch, I was mostly just skipping through it all.
The Mag, at first glance, looks packed with info, however it is fanboyish. I suggest that sensitive people like Maverick overlook the "begining of Ps2's end" article and the "regional News", which basicly just slates the GC the whole way through. A couply of sections had me laughing but again I stress I havn't realy had time to fully digest the mag.
Overall, buy it if only for the Half Life 2 and Doom 3 footage alone. This DVD truely highlights how utterly crap OXMs last issue was. Let this be a lesson to your stinky recent efforts.

Just got the DVD. It's worth the 3.99 just for the Half-life 2, Doom3 and extra Halo 2 footage (and yes in that order!).
Absolutely amazed by Half-life 2 at the moment.

What other demos are gonna be on the disk?
Even though I have been didipointed with OXM recen;ty I still think i'll get the next issue, with a brute Force demo and Kola Cell download for Splinter cell- and entire new level.
Also, when you buy the game for the Xbox you can gurantee it's gonna work with your set-up. Far too much configuring and graphics cards nonsense involved with PC gaming. With Xbox games I can just shove it in and I'm away (why can't everything be that simple?)
Hate PC gaming anyway, as much as you lot rave about mouse and keyboard controls, I hate them. Been playing Max Payne recently and can only imagine how rubbish it would be to control the game with mouse and keyboard. So ladies and gentlemen, you know were to stick 'em.

Plus, seeing as the kind of PC needed to get the full potential from Half Life 2 comes in at somewhere in the region of £1000+, often with the graphics card alone costing more than the Xbox and the game combined, I should hope it does look a little better.
Me ? I'll be sticking to the Xbox, we'll get a conversion of Half Life 2 anyway, and we still have Halo and Halo 2 - for all the PC's supposed brilliance it still does not have a conversion of Halo yet, and that was first announced for the PC back in 1999...

Is that because you don't have a control pad or something for your PC as then that might make it easier to control the character in the game you are playing anoryowather play on the Xbox.
Differences will be so small that you be able to tell. Every PC coversion to Xbox so far I have prefered on my Xbox.
