Re: New OXM

I just got the new mag today and I was surprised to see that games like Rumble Roses XX, Top Spin 2, and Dynasty Warriors received some better scores which is good compared to the online sites being brutal on some of these games.

How can Blazing Angels get the same score on the 360 as XBOX1 if the game is a bit better on 360?

The one game that should have received a better score imo, THE GODFATHER.

MLB2K6 = 7.5 is not that bad. So let's hope the 360 version plays good.

Re: New OXM

Info from the new OXM.

• Famed RTS maker Ensemble Studios (Age of Empires series) is hiring for an "Xbox Live" project. Could be the MMORPG it has in the early stages.
  
• Starbreeze Studios, longtime friends of Xbox with Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and the potential-packed 360 adaptation The Darkness, will be taking the reins on a hot first-person-shooter franchise that you'll be getting very familiar with later this year.
  
• Updating from a previous tip: The Mole can now confrim that the sick-looking mulitplayer shooter Enemy Territory: Quake Wars will indeed be hitting 360.
  
• D3 Publishing has signed up developer Digital Extremes to bring Dark Sector to 360 Q3 2007.
  
• Valve Software pledges support to 360 for future game releases. So could a tricked-out (read: HDR-lighting enabled) Half-Life 2 + Episode One + Counter-Strike: Source bundle be in the offering? Perhaps, or maybe the multiplayer-oriented Team Fortress 2?
  
• Dungeon Explorer, the old-school four-player Gauntlet-style dungeon-crawler will be returning in next-gen form on 360.

COVER STORY: F.E.A.R.

Feedback from F.E.A.R. fans gave Vivendi plenty of opportunity to further refine the atmosphere and gameplay after last year's PC release, whittling down what didn't work and "dialing up the creep factor", while tweaking the combat tactics and weapons...Set to include a spanking-new Bonus Mission..."Instant Action" lets you drop into combat into many of the game's many ingeniuous enviornmental set-pieces, plus new ones, for stat-tracking + Achievements, to compare your prowess (or lack thereof) to other folks' via Leaderboards...The 360 version has multiplayer combat (supporting up to 16 players)...Long before the 360 version was announced, the editors were shown a very early build which ran at 30fps with A.I., physics, and particle effects intact - running on just one core..."To see F.E.A.R. running in HD at 720p in widescreen is just awesome!" developer.

In depth previews: Bioshock, Dead Rising, Phantasy Star Universe, Bomberman: Act Zero, Chromehounds, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, and Splinter Cell: Double Agent.
