How the HMV launch went down... picture evidence inside!
Square-Enix JRPG epic Final Fantasy XIII hit Xbox 360 in the UK yesterday, and the fans were out in force at a special HMV launch event at London's Oxford Circus.
When I was a kid, I loved Duke Nukem 3D. I didn't play it on the PC, so I was one of the few plums who was content to play it in a ham-fisted way on Sega Saturn.
Anyone that was burnt by the Star Wars: Episode I trailer knows that a killer two-minute montage can thrill a lot more than the final product ever could.
It's been a quiet year for live gaming events so far, but that's all about to change this July with the launch of ECL's new X1 LAN event. It's going to be a massive weekend of tournaments and prizes.
While I'm not allowed to vote in the annual OXM awards (that would be cheating,) I'm still free to try and sway your votes with a few of my favourite games.
Some of us live by default. Others prefer to crank it up to Hardcore/Realism/Veteran/Super-Tough as soon as they start. Some of us even gently tip-toe through on Easy (but shhh, don't tell anyone).
