Ok, I have it in hand - what am I allowed to post....

 

[Wario64]

anything but scans.

 

[ghostmind]

Scores would be nice...

 

[GhaleonEB]

Ok, I have it in hand - what am I allowed to post....

Is it the new format? If so, how is it? What games are reviewed, what are the scores, what's on the cover, what's on the disc?

For starters.

 

[dorio]

Take one for the team, post it all.

 

[Mrbob]

Post the scores and demos n00b!

Is this the OXM with the dual Xbox/Tree Sitty demo disc? Or is that the issue after?

Hopefully there are some good demos on the disc I can check out when I get home later tonight!

 

[open_mouth_]

watch him post the scores from the last issue

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

on a completly unrelated note.. Next months GI is MGS4 with interviews etc coverstory ftw

The one after.

 

[GamerzXtreme]

Yes, new format -

Scores -

Call of Duty 2 - 9.0

Verdict-

+ Dozens of "OMGWTFdidyouseethat?" moments.

+ Laudable opponent and friendly AI.

+ Stellar 5.1 surround-sound audio.

? Will videogame designers ever run out of WWII source material?

I assume this is the X360 version, not Big Red One, right?

A 9???

Isn't anybody surprised at how often games get rediculously high grades from (online)mags since, say the past year or two? Are moneyhats being passed around that often?

eh, its a guys opinion. from the demo i played of cod2, i'd say a 9 is certainly in the neighborhood of what i'm leaning towards...

 

[GamerzXtreme]

Condemned - 8.5

NBA Live - 7.0

 

[TheDuce22]

Did they review PDZ?

 

[DenogginizerOS]

What were the negatives of Condemned? 8.5 is close to rental status.

 

[TigerKnee]

Is that it??

GIMME MORE TREE SITTY SCOREZ PLEASE

 

[Lakitu]

8.5? Ehhhh

 

[op_ivy]

NBA Live - 7.0

2k6 for the win.

take that Ramirez

What were the negatives of Condemned? 8.5 is close to rental status.

:lol 8.5, oh nos!

 

[open_mouth_]

I predict Kameo, PDZ, Condemned, Madden, NBA 2K6, DOA4, COD2, PGR3, and King Kong 360 will all get 8.5's or above at gamerankings. That's damn good for a launch

 

[dorio]

Condemned - 8.5

NBA Live - 7.0

Ouch, Live looks so good too.

 

[GamerzXtreme]

[Zep]

Live-7.0? Yep...I knew it played like shit.

 

[bogg]

People think an 8.5 is bad? :lol

Is this really new to you?

 

[master_shake_05]

Spill the beans on the new format.....

 

[Borys]

Give me a break, 8.5 is rental?

 

[Helznicht]

MGS Games = 9-10

All others 7-8


:lol

 

[GamerzXtreme]

Condemned - 8.5
The Verdict
+ Compelling plot delivers plenty of creepy kicks.
+ Unique approach to an otherwise straightforward style of game.
- Map, Please!
? Ethan's voice sounds weirdly a lot younger than he actually looks.

 

[qirex]

People think an 8.5 is bad? :lol

When you rate on a scale of 7-10 for any major studio game it is.

 

[Razoric]

give us numbered reviews then do verdicts please

 

[Bumblescum]

on a completly unrelated note.. Next months GI is MGS4 with interviews etc coverstory ftw

It should be out within the next couple days. This damn wait is killing me.

 

[IJoel]

Any notes on Condemned's length? I really want it, but worry it can be completed in under 10-12 hours. That would make it a rental for me.

 

[GamerzXtreme]

NBA Live 06 - 7.0

Verdict -

+ Next-gen visuals and next-gen interface.

+ It has an "I win" button.

- No manual replays in such a beautiful game.

? Do any of the players have emotions? They just stare blankly ahead of them.

what does that even mean?

What are you on meth? OXM is a print publication. Plus, whaaa?

 

[Tiktaalik]

God damn I'd really be interested to know why Condemned scored that low. 8.5 is not bad, but considering that there were quite a few people who considered it to be the best non racing launch game, there's got to be a story here.

 

[Helznicht]

+ It has an "I win" button.

This is a Plus?

 

[GamerzXtreme]

That's all the 360 reviews...

 

[Jerkface]

what does that even mean?

It's a linear FPS that doesn't fill your pockets with ammo and forces you into melee combat.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

That's all the 360 reviews...

damn.

 

[BarneyBP]

oh

 

[GhaleonEB]

That's all the 360 reviews...

What is on the cover? What is coming next issue?

Thanks.

I would guess at longevity. No multiplayer kind of kills that aspect.

 

[Zep]

Can you tell me what they said about the Gameplay in Live? If the graphics are so nice, then they had to shit on the gameplay.

 

[master_shake_05]

Seems people had pretty high expectations for this issue. IMO, serves em right for hyping an issue of OXM, one of the worst gaming mags in existence right now...
