Every gamer loves a good shooter, don’t they?
Heck, it’s what the Xbox’s mighty reputation
was built on, courtesy of the undisputed king of
first-person shooters, Halo. All these years later
and Xbox continues to be the home of the great
shooter – and we’ve got a whole bunch of newblasters to get excited about this month! First
and foremost for Xbox gamers is the exclusive
Gears 5. The Coalition’s latest heads up a trio of
cover games that also includes a rebooting of the
brilliant Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare and a newgame in a legendary shooter series, Doom Eternal.
We’ve got all the details on those games, plus a
handful of others coming to your console soon.
Elsewhere we talk to some of gaming’s finest
concept artists and display their beautiful artwork,
and we have previews, reviews and news as wellas tips and tricks to get the best out of your Xbox!
Chris Burke
Editor
Team OXM loves its
shooters. So excited are
we for the games we’re
talking about this month
that we’ve renamed
ourselves after the FP-s
in the S-es. So Editor
Chris is the Master Chief,
obviously, because he’s
in charge, and he called
dibs on it.Shooters
to thrill...
THE OXM TEAM
Adam Bryant
Staff writer
We’ve called Adam...
Adam Jensen, after the
Deus Ex guy, although as
a massive Halo fan he’s
gone to his room crying
because he couldn’t be
Master Chief.Warren Brown
Art editor
Warren’s Doomguy,
because he loves his
old games, but also ‘cos
he’s always predicting
that the mag’s going to
go to press late. Nearly,
but not quite, Woz!Drew Sleep
Production editor
Drew is the Wolfenstein
series’ BJ Blazkowicz,
because as OXM’s spell-
checker, we thought
we’d keep him on his
toes with a really hard-
to-spell name.Robin Valentine
Contributor
Robin’s done such a
good job standing in for
vacationing Editor Chris
this time, we dubbed
him Captain Price(less).
He hasn’t got the ’tache,
but still. Nice one Robin!
