What is going on with this mag. Every issue I have recieved has been on the same games, every demo has been on the same games. Has anyone else noticed this? They really havnt provided me with any info I havnt been able to figure out for my self.

March 2002 issue 4 more tricks on halo pgr and so on. I would like it if they would start covering games that are coming out. I understand that is hard for them with all the delays we keep having to face.

What do you think? Do you think they are doing a good job? Are you happy with how games are being taken care of? When are we going to get more release dates instead of all this 2 dtr 2002 fall spring.. I WANT A DATE THAT TELLS ME WHEN THE GAME COMES OUT NOT A GUESS!!

I for one would like for OXM to keep their promises. They promised their subscribers a playable demo of Wreckless in the march issue... What a surprise, it wasnt there. I believe they also promised to name two new lucasarts starwars titles never before seen or heard. That too, is not there. Its really getting ridiculous...

Alot of the info the give us we already were reading before the xbox was even out. I beat halo I dont need tips on how to beat it three issues in a row. Also a demo for pgr on it.... come on most people own it already or have at least rented it. Oh and also fuzion frenzy (which I like) does not need to be a demo every time not to mention in every game. Wheres the varity that we are supposed to have?

In defense im gonna say this:

Most people out there that get this magazine arent aware of the forum communitys. They dont get the latest news as it breaks on the internet. So alot of this information is "NEW" to them. As far as the disc go, Microsoft regulates what goes on them. So were always gonna have a poor disc.

The reason Micosoft and Imagine Media keep putting some of the same games on different demo disc is because outside of the regular subscribers they know not everyone out their is getting ever single issue every month, so to be on the safe side the may put a demo of ,...say Tony Hawk 2X on two different months/issues in hopes the casual video game magazine buyer will get one of the two.
I have no problems with this myself. But I do get tired of the one main preview they have on the demo disc just keeping on repeating itself. You know, like the Batman Vengence & Halo in the last two issues! Man that was annoying!:rolleyes:
But the magazine never the less kicks ass!:cool:

there is a wreckless review but no demo. I suppose it might not be as bad as i say cause ther is crash and superman in the mag but it is the thinest . My dc mag was so much better even my P2 was better. mag that is. I understand they do use the same demos but none of my other mags ever did. and 1 new game on there a month isnt what I am paying for.

Somthing that ticks me off, is the fact that the March disc has EVERY demo they have had on the past discs. While this is good for those who have just picked up the latest OXM, as a subscriber, it makes the first three discs WORTHLESS (Except for a few good specials, and of course, colectability and bragging rights :D ).

It is nice that they are all on one disc, but it makes me wonder if they will continue to pack in all of the past demos... And I also wonder if they will EVER pack in a demo before the actual game is out.

But regardless of what OXM does in the future, it will allways have a permanant cloud over it, as far as i'm concerned.

Below is the OXM of unspeakable doom, and if it get's covered due to my distaste of OXM, I will cancel my subscription.

Subscribers get theirs BEFORE they officially go on sale on newstands, it seems. Subscribers get theirs around the 27th of each month.

i subscribed a while back, earlier this year...no mag yet...oh well, i'll just get it at EB later...

and I think that OXM is a funny, informative magazine and nobody can argue that they don;t do their job. Their job is to report on the Xbox and Xbox games...you dont see the people working for PSM saying that the Xbox is so great...remember, its the official XBOX Magazine...not the official We Love Every Console Magazine.

I am not trying to say that OXM sucks, infact, it is pretty sweet. What I am saying, is that I was extremely excited to be able to play a demo of Wreckless BEFORE it was out, but alas, I poped in the disc to find no Wreckless content.

It is only one cloud over OXM, and it will take some more to make me give up hope.

<-Angry man! I soo wanted wreckless...that PROMISED it, so if they cant make their promises I prolly wont buy the march issue. Actually I might get it in the mail because I sent in the card a few weeks ago, but Id rather not get demos I already played...thats purely just to fill up the disc because they dont have anything really new...
