none of this is helping chaps, although it does make sense that an official mag would be so biased it licked balls

Just before second half kicks off I would like to say that people are far too critical of Blinx. I found it very enjoyable but its not a 9 or 10/10 game. Its around the 7-8/10 mark. A lot of the peopel who criticise it haven't even played it and they are just going by what a few other people have said.

The OXM issue you have, what one is it? Is it the one with Enter the Matrix/ Halo 2 on the cover?

Got the official mag today, from wht i've read it seems okay. Bought it mainly for the demo disk though.

It's your usual official mag, pretty biased and gives away quite a few stupid scores. Blinx 9.3? pffffffffft

And I quote "takes platform gaming into uncharted territory. Essential"
That's just as bad as NOM giving Starfox 9/10

Why OXM have to shove "ONLY ON XBOX" everywhere I have no idea.

Xbox Gamer was the worst magazine I had read in ages.

It read like an NGC wannabe.

But seeing as that's the only Xbox magazine I've bothered to read, I can't really advise you any more on this subject.

Xbox World. It has just started recently. The reviews are pretty good, it has a DVD (only movies though, no demos) and it is really funny. No seriously funny. £3.99.

Quote from their preview of Sonic Heroes:
"Sonic Team doesn't make games that suck. We trust Sonic Team. Hell, we love Sonic Team. If it was legally possible for a man to marry a corporate development unit we'd be Mrs Sonic Team by morning."

that cracked me up. In Ikeas coffee shop. Free refills!!!!!

OXM - definately the best. I agree with most of their reviews, always have the information first, free demo disc with videos, and monthly competitions and Play:More Challenges. Worth the £5.99 asking price.
