OXM - Don't know whether to subscribe!

[Gibs960]

Well in about 3-5 months I've bought 2 of their magazines and I enjoyed them both. It's only like £30-£40 to subscribe for 6 months and in the long run it's cheaper than buying it from the shop every month.

I was wondering if it's worth buying, does anyone have any criticisms for it and just generally tell me if I should suscribe!

It's certainly not what it used to be, the magazine itself used to be pretty good - but I am talking a good few years back. I remember picking up a copy recently and being severely disappointed at how thin it had gotten and had lost a lot of content.

I suppose if you like it then you might as well it, especially if it works out cheaper (and you would buy it every month anyway). I would rather have a magazine like edge now. The official mags tend to be quite biased for obvious reasons.

I quite enjoy but yeah it is biased sometimes, even if Forza 4 is gonna be crap they'll say it's good :| Which is stupid because I want a verdict off a neutral party really.

I wouldnt bother its too biased, its like watching reviews of people who get the stuff their reviewing for free off the company, there bound to make it seem good cause thats why they got given it.

just use youtube, i recently acquired the latest copy on december 30th and it was still talking about one game coming out.. it had been out a while. plus some reviews are just plain crap

[Gibs960]

But back on topic - I wouldn't know where to start with game reviews on youtube :\

IGN, gamespot, machinima. hell, even when the game has just come out just search the name of the game
