That's why I'm not standing at the mailnox waiting for my issue.

**No Fear 23** · 12-27-2002

the games they reviewed sucks tho

**nicklovesxbox** · 12-27-2002

I really should get mine today or tommorow...I usually get it early.

**Insane Jester** · 12-27-2002

i dont get any mags anymore ...

**Shadow20002** · 12-27-2002

Sound like Crimson Sea and Nightcaster 2 is near top game...

**nicklovesxbox** · 12-27-2002

******, they didn't send it to me yet!

**spike spiegel** · 12-27-2002

Yeah I just got Cromson Sea, it's a pretty fun game, control isnt fantastic, but I like the rpg elements alot.

**Cloud Strife** · 12-27-2002

I just received my OXM Magazine today in the mail. I tried the demo out and got a DDE twice although I got my Xbox fixed two weeks ago. I boiled the disc in hot water and it worked.

The only games I seem to like are Battle Engine Equila and Tennis Masters. I sucked big time at Ghost Reacon, buy hey, first time I've ever played it.

Something is wrong when a 2d fighter and Nightcaster 2 get higher scores than Deathrow.

What's wrong with that. 2-D Fighters are some of the best games and Capcom deserves good ratings. I also liked the first Nightcaster although it needed some work. Deathrow is a great game also.

1200 post for me.

**Unreal** · 12-27-2002

Just the Ghost Recon demo is any good on the disc this month.

2-d fighters being some of the best games is an opinion...plus, there's too many of them. deathrow is a new and (semi) original concept and it rules to boot.

Am I the only person that didnt get a Quantum Redshift demo on the feb disc?

I WANT THE ****ING TOP 10 PAYS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and whats even more strange...i just got my january issue on the 9th of december...getting my feb issue on the 27th of the same month seems a little odd...

then again, its OXM, so stupidity is expected.

Top ten plays was pretty cool

, but where in the fcuk is P.O.D.(pyramid of destruction), they said it was going to be a perminent feature in the mag.

**nicklovesxbox** · 12-27-2002

OXM is under very poor management, if I would have known this and understood it's not just me, I would've never paid for a second year...

i thought this wasnt new, but deathrow was not a high rated game....everywhere. in fact, according to most critics, it sucked.

The only other critic that gave it a bad rating is EGM. I don't count EGM because they are awful reviewers.
