Official Xbox Magazine

Official Xbox Magazine, commonly known as OXM, is a monthly publication dedicated to video games that first launched in November 2001, coinciding with the debut of the original Xbox. A preview edition was made available during E3 2001, followed by another in November of the same year. Each issue originally came with a disc featuring game demos, trailers, preview videos, and various extras like updates for games or Xbox, as well as free gamerpics. These discs also offered software that enabled backward compatibility for original Xbox games on the Xbox 360 for users without broadband or Xbox Live. However, as of January 2012, OXM stopped including the demo disc. In mid-2014, the U.S. version merged with the UK version online, but this arrangement was short-lived, as Future plc decided to shut down its website, which also included other publications like Edge and Computer and Video Games. By February 2015, OXM and all of Future's sites were redirected to GamesRadar. Despite these changes, the magazine continues to be published in the UK, US, and Australia.

The Outer Worlds 2 director "loves" complex RPG systems, which means if "you just want to blow stuff up, you never have to worry about stealth"

1 day ago | gamesradar.com | Ali Jones

The director of The Outer Worlds 2 is a self-confessed RPG systems sicko, which means that you can dive extremely deep into the game's systems, but you won't be forced to invest in stuff you don't like.

Malys is the next game from Stray Gods developer Summerfall Studios, an Australian outfit co-founded and helmed by former Dragon Age writer David Gaider, and it was described as the "last hope to keep the studio alive" when we spoke with Gaider last month. Things took a turn when its Kickstarter campaign failed, but Summerfall's gone ahead and released the game in Early Access on Steam, and it's off to a promising start as a novel little roguelike card game.
MMO community fears PvP bots have formed a "cartel" using false reports to get you banned if you kill them for their illegal loot, bringing Old School RuneScape's bot problem to a boil

2 days ago | gamesradar.com | Austin Wood

For years, any celebration of Old School RuneScape hitting a new player count record has come with a non-trivial asterisk: a chunk of those 'players' are surely bots, or automated accounts following scripted behavior to collect resources, usually to line the pockets of gold sellers. The bot problem has peaked and valleyed but never truly vanished, with developer Jagex engaged in an endless arms race between bot busting and bot operators.

PC gaming doesn't have to mean sitting at a desk in your spare time: Here's how I built the perfect couch setup

2 days ago | gamesradar.com | Duncan Robertson

As I've slowly switched over to PC for my gaming time in the last few years, I've become one of those annoying friends who keeps recommending that my console-gaming friends all do the same. For a lot of them, I hear the same issues. PC gaming is expensive, it can mean more time fiddling with settings, it's "less practical", all those valid queries you might be feeling too.

3 days ago | gamesradar.com | Will Sawyer |Oscar Taylor-Kent |Joel Franey

The Death Stranding 2 cast is an eclectic mix of Hollywood actors, writers, and directors as well as talented video game voice actors. With such a stacked cast, it makes the game sometimes feel like Hideo Kojima showing off his extensive connections, but it's also fascinating to see who he and his studio have scanned and put into Death Stranding 2.
