*****************************************
The demos look dumb exceot for Breakdown, but the magazine looks awsome. The Halo 2 sceens are ******* awsome! Just looking at the muliplayer experience that awaits me has my heart pumping! From what I can tell, the needler and plasma pistol are back, the maps are enormous, and a lot of people can play at one time. Mercenaries and Rid**** look pretty damn good too.

But Halo 2... *drool* I want it so BAD!!!!!!!!!!

Don't just simply dismiss Colin McRae Rally 04. I just finished the site review and I really dug it.

From all the reviews I have read on Worms 3D it is a leap backwards from it's 2D counterparts. The transition to 3D aparently just doesn't work well with the Worms franchise. I hope the series returns to it's 2D roots for the next game and to up the graphics they could just use cel-shading 2D character or high quality sprites.

btw, 2D gaming shall live on the Xbox with the release of Metal Slug 3!

Yeah its a pretty decent magazine this month again. I just got mine on Saturday.

Colin Mcrae wont hold a candle to rallisport 2, but its still a decent game. I have it and have been enjoying it. It'll keep me occupied with rallying until RC2 comes in May!! The its a trade in....LOL!

Damn...sounds like one of the best OXM magazines yet! The demo appears to only be mediocre...but, man, way to step up the magazine content!

Also, thanks for the info, dude! :)

Its only one new screen... the other is the multiplayer one released by Bungie a while ago with the guy jumping and shooting a rocket at a warthog. Still pretty sweet though.

And MM3... your a cheap SOB, go subscribe now!

Halo2 is going to pwn me in the face.
if it is any better than halo (and im sure it will be) then this will be THE game played on xbl. halo released about 2 years ago (right?) and people are still playing it a lot.
i have put more hours into halo than any other.

Exactly...I think XBox Live will only consists of Halo 2 players for a solid 3 months...just wait and see.
