Merely the mention of Halo tends to get us a
bit excited here at OXM, so the news that one
of the co-creators of Xbox’s greatest ever FPS
was working on a new sci-fi shooter meant
we were always going to sit up and take note.
Disintegration is a unique, strategic shooterwith tons of style, as you’d expect from Marcus
Lehto, the man who created Master Chief and
had a hand in the origins of Bungie’s other great
shooter, Destiny. We hopped on our grav cycles
and flew to New York to get hands-on with whatcould be one of 2020’s most innovative sci-fi
titles. Elsewhere, we round-up the best Xbox gear
to give (probably to yourself) this Crimbo in our
seasonal gift guide, and as always we pack your
favourite mag full of reviews of the latest releases,
previews of exciting new games and more. Oh,and one more thing – Merry Christmas everyone!
Chris Burke
Editor
Inspired by humanity’s
robotic future in
Disintegration, we’ve
zipped ahead in time to
see how the Integrated
OXM team has been
getting on. Turns out
they’ve all started their
own Crews. Chris heads
up the ‘Rootin Tootin
Cowboy Shooters’. He
likes to pat his grav cycle
and say, ‘Y’okay girrrl!’
just like Arthur Morgan.Yule love this
new shooter
THE OXM TEAM
Adam Bryant
Staff writer
Adam’s brain got
uploaded into his new
body with his Resident
Evil 2 save data. He
now leads the ‘RPD
Renegades’ and thinks
everyone is a zombie.Warren Brown
Senior art editor
This Integrated
renegade established
the ‘Old School Cool’
Crew. You’ll likely spot
them raiding museums
and harvesting them for
their retro gaming gear.Drew Sleep
Production editor
Not letting a robot body
get in the way of his
style choices, Drew still
wears double denim in
the future. He loves it so
much he named his Crew
the ‘Canadian Tuxedos’.Dave Meikleham
Games editor
Our shiny new Games
Editor is the de facto
leader of the ‘Meiky
Blinders’. They’re the
most dapperly dressed
Crew that you’ll find on
this barren Earth.
