2006-08-29 15:11:48 TDU Gets 90/100 from X360 Magazine UK

I thought people would want to know. That's a very good start, I hope more positive reviews will come our way!

No way! are u serious?9/10? omg lol OXM really has hit Rock Bottom

2006-08-29 18:30:54

Eeeesh. Glad I dont subscribe. Yet they keep sending me issues saying "This is your last issue!" Funny thing is, If I had never played the 2nd TDU demo, I would've bought the game. Now my overall impression is the game should get a 7.2/10.

It's not OXM it's "X360" ... they are two different magazines.

Seriously i wouldn't dare trust an oxm review (unless it said blue dragon is the best thing ever)

They are blatantly bias in favor of 360 game reviews (and not in a good way) They've given a number of games unbelievably high scores they didn't deserve.

Read the above post, it's not OXM.

It's not OXM as the other posters say. Also, OXM UK has a much better (i.e. honest!) reputation than the US counterpart from what I've heard.

yes it is infact. I wouldnt say the game is great based on the score of this magazine. here in the Uk, there are three sources I trust the Most EDGE Magazine (being the most trust worthy in my opinion!), Games and www.eurogamer.net

Eurogamer is horrible.

Eurogamer it depends on who you get doing it (like most sites I suppose) but they do come across as a little Playstation fanboyish and don't seem to have much time for Nintendo or Microsoft.

Then again I've read the odd good balanced review there and a handful of plain awful ones.

2006-08-29 20:49:23

Can't beat good old edge.

I only browse it in Smiths (but then who doesn't) cause im too tight to buy it ... :S

2006-08-29 21:04:24

I say you can't beat playing a Demo and judging it yourself.

Take one 360, add some chopped PS3, stir in some Wii, a sprinkling of DS Lite. Enjoy :)

I bet most of us here have read stunning reviews of a game, only to get it home and find it worse then slamming your nuts in the door.

I would score Halo 3 a 10, Jolli would probably give it 4. Jolli and Op would probably give some obscure JRPG a 10, and I wouldn't piss on it if it was on fire.

Horses for courses :)

There's no way I would give this game more than a 7.0

I expect decent reviewers to give it scores in that range, for example Gamespot.com

Occasionally yes. they tend to be biased towards everything Sony from time to time but in terms of reviews, i think for the most part they are pretty spot on! but nothing beats EDGE of course.

jolli: I dont buy magazines either ... I snoop around every now and then and read ... who buys magazines these days anyways ???

To be honest I expect to see 6's all around, but given the original concept, perhaps it will score a bit higher..I don't really see how one can fairly pick a number (which in the end, is a really arbitrary way to review something) without actually playing the final game though..I just, expect it won't do particularly well in most reviews is all.

It is a pretty original concept though, so perhaps I'm wrong.
