which xbox mag? and which issue

official xbox magazine - october issue

is it out on stand now? what does the cover looks like?

It's a video almost identical to one of the older trailers we've seen. Nothing new except a couple seconds of extra footage. Nothing Spectacular. AND DEFINITELY Nothing worth paying newsstand price for the mag for.
I subscribe, so I've had mine for awhile.

so then darthsung what does the cover looks like?

Master Chief's Head for October.
He's aiming a gun over the virtual camera-man's shoulder.

This demo video is very helpful to all who have never seen Deception in person. We've downloaded choppy vids, but this is the real thing. It looks amazing! The characters don't have that smooth anime look like in the DOA series. But its still crushin DOA. I saw it because a buddy of mine, who works at Game Stop (rolls eyes) subscribes to OXM. Otherwise, I would definitely buy the mad off the stands to see this beauty!

Bleh. I still say it's not worth the cover price.
The demos on the disc are ok, though, so if you really have to see it go ahead.
I just don't see paying that much for it off of the newsstand when you can wait a couple weeks and play it.
It's nothing spectacular just because the video quality is good. I was so pumped to see something new when I got it in the mail, but then I was disappointed with what I got. Oh, well, SH4: The Room and Colin McRae Rally 2005 kept me busy for a while. (and I can't stand racing games.)

I actually like reading OXM. They're not biased and will even tell you if an upcoming game sucks or not.

I agree. That's why I subscribed.
