Ace ATL 33 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Whats OXM's review history? do they just throw 10/10 out all the time like most magazines or are they pretty strict? i know gta will be great, but im wondering about their review system....see if IGN.COM gave a 10 then i would think the game would be f'n amazing. they are pretty strict over there. What yall think? anyone know the review history for OXM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGizmo Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Their a good magazine, they gave HALO 3 a 9/10, and other big name titles they have not bowed down to pressure to hype games etc. This is a REALLY great game to recieve a 10, I think the only other game was oblivion to get one... may be wrong.

masaba Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'm not sure about their history, but from what I read in the review that 10 was rightly deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiagoDomingo Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Why does it matter what score they give it? I have played a lot of games that got 7's and lower and they thought they were great games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrernie Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yeah, total scores arn't exactly the be-all and end-all. I mean, what it comes down to is opinion. One persons heaven is another persons hell etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gog Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I don't listen to reviews anyway, although I will probably give GTA IV a 10/10 too. But I won't know until I play it. I've played games that got high scores that I just couldn't get into & others that got lows scores that I've played for months. Bottom line, I'm my own best reviewer.

noelpioroda Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I have never seen that magazine before or knew about ever since when the GTA 4 review came out on it and I saw scans of it. I don't care if it's going to be a 10/10 or 9/10. That's just the rating of the game, but it's all up to our minds on how we rate it ourselves. Anyways, the game is going to epic, that's all you need to know, nothing else to worry about. It will not waste your $60 or $100, because the final product is going to be great.

dicemanstyle Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 sh*t mag, sh*t writers and a sh*t editor. I stopped buying this ages ago cause of its biased reviews and general dumbed down articles. If you want proper game journalism turn to GAMES tm or EDGE magazine. However, I would imagine most mags will give GTA4 9 or 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What yall think? anyone know the review history for OXM? I dont trust IGN since they called the first GTA (after the top down series, that only really got coverage in the U.K) a "Racing game" in their "review". They'll never live that down.
