Every issue of the Official Xbox Magazine has exclusive inside information on Xbox, games, in-depth authoritative and bluntly honest reviews. Plus cheats, tips and ways to make sure you get the most out of your Xbox!
"Like Maxim, but about Xbox!" was clearly the mandate given to Mike Salmon, former editor-in-chief of PC Accelerator and current editor-in-chief of The Official Xbox Magazine. He got it half right: this gamer lifestyle magazine has the locker-room feel of Maxim but lacks Maxim's intelligent, tongue-in-cheek style. The result is something that looks like it was written by high-school sophomores. For example, a bio of Kasumi, a character in the game Dead or Alive 3, reads "A redhead with a difference--she can take on all comers. And if DoA 3 has the "[breast] bounce on/off" option, she'll definitely have a lot of comers." On the plus side, the game reviews and previews are informative and mostly free of bull. --Mike Fehlauer

great magazine + DVD:
ordered on 2-06-10 and got first issue on 3-12-10. it DOES come with the DVD (for those of you worried, like i was, from reading old reviews). if you have an xbox360, you can't go wrong with this mag. the DVDs usually come with themes or avatar items & the magazine is really good (a no brainer if you catch it in the gold box for 12$/yr like i did). also, if you dont have xbox LIVE gold, or a high speed internet connection, this would really be a solid purchase for the DVDs alone (for all the videos... more info
Disappointed that two year subscription is only 22 months:
After renewing my husband's subscription to XBOX magazine, I went to their website to see if it was now shown as extended for 2 years.
Unfortunately, it was only extended for 22 months since they say that since there are 13 issues a year that 24 issues covers only 22 months.
Amazon is still showing 24 months and 24 issues so it is best to once again read the small print so that another large company doesn't try to change the terms of your contract with them. If like many magazines, it posted... more info
Xbox Magazine is a great magazine!:
As always, Xbox Magazine provides die-hard gamers with all the tips, tricks, reviews, etc. needed to stay current. And having it delivered right to my door makes it all the sweeter!
xbox for those that can't get enough:
Good if you want to know what is coming out. Good if your the one that waits in line for Midnight Madness. Good if you're a hardcore gamer or interested in game design. Other than that, forget about it.
