XBM Stranger Review
 
In the XBM Strangers Wrath review, It includes Screens, alot about the game, and it even says it owes more to HALO than it does Abe. It must be good. Anyoen want me to scan it?

_GrubHunter_ 01-11-2005 08:41 AM

Me please :)

Xavier 01-11-2005 09:56 AM

yep, I'd like you to scan it :D
are there any exclusive screens?

Nath 01-11-2005 10:08 AM

You should've just scanned them anyway

Oddish 01-11-2005 10:30 AM

Let's see the review.

The Marching Mudokon 01-11-2005 05:09 PM

Does the Australian XBM have the Stranger article?

MojoMan220 01-11-2005 07:35 PM

Of course we want the scans! At least tell us the score.

Fuzzle Guy 01-11-2005 11:25 PM

I should have the scan by tommorow morning, as I need to instal my Scanner again and plug it in on my new computer. There are some cool screens, one with a large Robot who looks like one from Ratchet and Clank. They say that the things it should have are: Abe Xbox Live Epic Battle Scenes.
There are levels where you have to doge flamethrowers.

You must kill the Bad Guy, but never kill the boss, as you need to take him to the bounty store. You must switch to the less deadly Amo when trying to catch the boss.

It says Munch came out on the Xbox in 2002, and Abe's Exoddus came out on the XBOX in 1999? Did it?

I've got the mag, I could scan it now if you like.
I'm not sure if it's the same mag for the the Isle of Mann as it is for the rest of the UK. But I'll post it anyway.

Edit:

I've got scans from two magazines, OXM and GamesMaster. OXM has one page and GamesMaster has four pages.

Here's the thumbnail for OXM.

The GamesMaster scans will come in a second.

Fuzzle Guy 01-12-2005 10:11 AM

Go on then

Godlesswanderer 01-12-2005 10:22 AM

The first scan is in the post above yours.

Godlesswanderer 01-12-2005 10:48 AM

Here's the GamesMaster ones.

Edit:

Sorry for the double post.

Xavier 01-12-2005 11:39 AM

2 of them aren't working, but the other ones are superb!!!

Oddish 01-12-2005 12:01 PM

Nice Work.

But it isn't a review, coz dosn't say the score.

Dipstikk 01-12-2005 02:20 PM

I can't see any images. Try again, do an attachment or summit.

Dualist 01-12-2005 03:26 PM

Awesome review. Just god damn awesome.

Finally a magazine who sees creativity and originality. Rather than a magazine *cough EGM *cough* giving games like GTA a super high score.

The Marching Mudokon 01-12-2005 05:21 PM

I agree with Dualist, it's great.

Dualist 01-12-2005 06:22 PM

Opps my bad I thought it was a review. Heh.

Fuzzle Guy 01-12-2005 11:17 PM

That's not from the XBM mag I read. It looks like I am going to have to scan mine, then we'll have double the info

Esus 01-13-2005 07:24 AM

People have forgotten that XBM is different to OXM :p

Two ncie previews there, but they're certainly not reviews.

Godlesswanderer 01-13-2005 01:17 PM

I've gotten so used to calling OXM 'The Xbox Magazine', I forgot there was an unofficial version.

I'm not sure what's going on with the scans, they all work when I click the links.

Nate 01-13-2005 03:00 PM

What does the writing going sideways on the edge of the OXM page say?

ps Is this really a spoiler?

Xavier 01-14-2005 10:31 AM

Genki Katchum has posted a scan from the Game Informer

That's nothing, that's just standard writing about the mag. Nothing Important.

Not really, no.

Xavier 01-15-2005 11:15 PM

right, those aren't spoilers
