If you want to know what "soul" means, play the MGS series.

Doom 3 9.2
All in the same month. Xbox is owning everything now. And Unreal Championship 2 soon also. Plus last month there was Oddworld strangers wrath. I guess Xbox games didn`t dry up after Halo 2 after all.
Xbox doesn't own RE4. Sorry. Xbox doesn't own everything now. Maybe if it got RE4 I could agree
Wow, awesome scores. Doom 3 has been getting praise from every which way it seems. So is Brothers in Arms. Splinter Cell 3 is also receiving tons of early praise. Jade Empire sounds like it's going to kick ass as well (hopefully the frame rate problem isn't too bad).
I'm gonna give all four of those games a good run in the coming months. Xbox is indeed chugging along strong early in '05. Now if only there were Xboxes in stores....

I might add that OXM was given plenty of eXclusive converage of SC3 and other SC games.
So believe me, that game is not worth 9.9... it barely gets an 9 in my book

OXM is still the only "Official" magazine that has not given out a perfect score.
Can't say that about other consoles "Official" magazines.

Splinter Cell is going to be amazing... chespace vaguely hints at it's greatness in his 1up blog.
Jade Empire may be short for an RPG, but there is a bunch of totally different characters that offer a completely new experience. If you only buy one Xbox game all year, this is is the one to buy...
+ Replay Value, yes

The OXM demo is awesome for Chaos Theory.

Well ahah.

I would only get SC:CT if the old GA XBL crew plays this game and we seperate OP_IVY and FUJISAWA those cheating bastards!

Well I loved the multiplayer of Pandora Tomorrow and have been online leatey brushing up in anticipation for Chaos Theory. The co-op stuff sounds good as well. The single player the SC
T was a little weak, but it wasn't terrible. You could tell Ubi was trying to pull an EA and keep the franchise fresh on peoples lips. I was kinda mad at first that SC:CT was getting a lot of the maps form SCT, but then when I heard about the improvements, I was all over it.
I will again state, for those that didn't like to play the SCT multiplayer, or found it confusing, then hook up a game with me and my pals. SCT too me was one of the most revolutionary online game to hit the market. I'll stand by that, it's an incredible onlione experience, and it was well thought out as well.

The graphics! Ahh! The details, the polish! The bad ass spy Sam Fisher!! Ahhhhhh! Seriously, my personal opinion; it might end up as the best game this gen.
I can't imagine how they will top this with the next Splinter Cell..

Since you've played past the first level, I'd like to ask you a question. Are the other levels as dark as the lighthouse? It felt like I was in night vision mode 80% of the time while playing the OXM demo.

Its just custom gametypes that you can download. Most likely some lame creations of the magazine staff. Proably shit like "Golden Showers" where everyone uses a Sentinel beam. Lame.
They want to really make cool gametypes, they should hit some of the message boards and steal those ideas. Like my "military" gametype. Lockout is the ideal map. Use gun-turrets, no shields, no radar, human rifles, with pistol as starting weapon, smg secondary. No grenades spawn on map, only the ones you have when you start.
Get a good 6 on 6 game going like this and its madness.
I must be alone in this camp, but I never liked the original splinter cell to much, didn't play pandora tommorow and the demo of chaos theory wasn'tmy cup of tea either.
Allthough technically wonderful games that make full use of the xbox graphical features I just think they are very boring and in the first ones case, far too confining. You HAVE to do the missions in only one way or you are screwed. More realistic then metal gear I'll give you but that doesn't make it a good game. For the record even metal gear isn't that fantastic really. They need to make a stealth game with elements of both series...
