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.

When did Microsoft get involved in this post? I thought we was talking about the magazine.

Because it isn't constructive.


Therefore they are simply sl*ging off Nintendo.

Sensitive? What, you think I'd break down into tears?

It just p*sses me off how short sighted some people can be, and how they're feeding this crap to impressionable gamers. It's all Microsoft seems to do, actually; just sl*g off it's competitors.
