New X-box magazine-the next issue big news (1 Viewer)

[Keith Frederick]

Yeah, I was kidding. Halo 2 will not be an XBOX 2 exclusive. Sorry about that. The real news is that Sony bought Bungie and Halo 2 is now a PS3 exclusive.

 

[Nathan A]

get over this Kabuki Warriors 2 nonsense already. We're reawakening Kasumi Ninja.

"I think Kevin was making a joke, and that Larry was saying that Halo 2 would be on the Xbox 2, not our current Xbox console."

No, no, no, I was saying that Xbox 2 would be the exclusive home of Halo 3. At least, I think that's what I was saying; I can't really remember. What were we talking about again?

What were we talking about again?

Kabuki Warriors 2

 

[KevinRB]

I was joking about the Kabuki Warriors Remix... Does anyone have a subscription to this magazine? It's been a month since this thread was started.

 

[Keith Frederick]

Didn't come today. Of course, someone in this forum always gets the magazine two days before I get mine.

 

[Eric F]

I usually get mine 2 weeks into the month.

How can anything be bigger than the Ninja Gaiden demo? This disk will have a SC2 playable demo, correct?

 

[CaptDS9E]

If i get it the same day i did last month the magazine should arrive today. Hopefully see whats going on

My guess is Half Life 2.

 

[KevinRB]

No one has it yet? Maybe the big news is that the Official Xbox Magazine has been cancelled.

 

[CaptDS9E]

nope havent recieved it yet.

 

[Sam Posten]

Me either

And their website still shows the last issue as well. Maybe it is a bold new magazine marketing initiative. Only sending an issue out 30 days early instead of a month and a half.

Actually, they could have been held up at the last minute trying to get the news in the mag and it missed a deadline or something.

 

[David Glenn]

Perhaps they held it up due to the recent "news" regarding the Half Life 2 delay.

 

[BrianB]

It's Deus Ex that's the coverstory...

Though it may be the Halo 2 E3 footage they were meaning...

Who knows...

Lame. I don't even have an Xbox and I'm caught up in the drama.

ENQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW! THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!

 

[KevinRB]

I was considering subscribing to OXM... I won't now after all they created all this hype without backing it up.

 

[BrianB]

I won't now after all they created all this hype without backing it up.

Come on, they're a mag doing their usual self promotion, just like almost every other game related mag. They had the usual last page of a mag "teaser" for the next issue & nothing more. It's the people on here & other boards that have whipped up the "hype" - not the magazine. Can you say "MEGATON!!!"?

Deus Ex 2 *is* big news - the first was superb, and the sequel looks to build on everything that was good about the first. It should be a big big hit, and deserves to be.
