"What XBOX Magazine?"

What is the best XBOX magazine to read?

Just asking for your opinion. Out of these choices which is the best mag?

X-Gamer
XBM
Official XBOX Magazine

I have never read the official mag. When is the next issue of OXM out aswell?

Well in my opinion its very frustrating and each lap around the course takes about 2-3 minutes to complete.

I personally would'nt buy that game.

I take it aint very good then

Its a racing-chariot game, you control a chariot and warrior in the back who can attack other chariots.

The race is reallly really really long though...

Circus Maximus is very lame, it tries to be a racer but is far too boring to be enjoyable.

whats circus maximus like???

I might subscribe to the mag, but this months playable demos were quite crap: -

Spiderman - I've already got the game and its good
Gun Metal - Controls are really hard to use, looks unfinished
Star Wars Starfighter - Controls difficult, i don't really like the game
Circus Maximus: Chariot Wars - Not my kinda game

But i enjoyed (nearly) all the videos on the disc.

I might buy moto gp because of the playable demo, rolling demo's didn't give it any justice

OXM is best, I have every issue.

My friends PS2 mag gave Dark Summit 80%, OXM gave it 3.4 or something. Their reviews are harsh but fair, and if a game gets over 7 its actually very good. OXm use the entire scoring system, they don't just dish out 7 and 8 outta tens every month like unnofficial ones do.

The demo is a nice bonus.

Official Xbox Mag, cos unlike official mags for other formats, if a game is crap, they will TELL you it's crap, they won't give it a high rating just to please Microsoft.

And the demo discs on the front of OXM are usually decent, I bought Oddworld: Munch's Oddyssee based on playing the OXM demo, well actually I didn't buy it, I chose it as one of the free games on the reward package for buying my Xbox at launch.

yes its very good
