“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

More often than not, when a game is in development for more than three years, it does not live up to the hype. Bungie’s Halo is the exception. Not only does it meet expectations, it greatly exceeds them. This sci-fi first-person shooter is a nearly perfect blend of gameplay, graphics, and sound. The story revolves around the conflict between humans and an alien race known as the Covenant. The aliens have discovered a powerful artifact–on the ring-shaped planet called Halo–that will shift the balance of power, and it’s up to the player to stop them. In addition to several first-person-shooter levels, the game offers numerous opportunities to engage in vehicular combat. Both the enemy and allied artificial intelligence are extremely impressive. Enemies will use the terrain and layout to put you in tight spots. Allies will know when to cover and aid you. For instance, if you hop into a jeep, an ally will know to jump in and man the turret o (more…)

Halo 2 is one of those rare video games that garnishes attention from regular folk who wouldn’t know which direction to point a game controller. With more than 1.5 million pre-orders and a massive release party in Times Square, the game enjoys the sort of buzz, and sales, generally reserved for boy wizards. But does it merit the hype? Opening Scene Halo 2 opens with a cut scene in the Covenant Holy City of High Charity. Much has happened since Master Chief (that’s you) created so much havoc for the Covenant in the first Halo, and the Arbiter has much atoning to do for his failures. This first cut scene is long, but the lush graphics, orchestral sound, and polished voice talent for both this and other cut scenes as well as the game itself put most animated television shows to shame. Much has happened since Master Chief created so much havoc for the Covenant in the first Halo, and the Arbiter has much atoning to do. In the end, though, Halo 2 is una (more…)
