OXM SAYS:

An Xbox 360 won't recognize a USB flash drive or another external hard drive as a memory unit, so you can't save...MORE

"Something really irks me about people who own a major console and buy maybe a few big-name games a year and that's IT...then call themselves serious gamers. "

Drum Roll, Please!

WORDS BY: Paul Curthoys

In our next Inside Xbox segment — available on Sunday January 18th — Dan & Ryan play dress-up! Well, not really, but it is a formal occasion: OXM's 2008 Game of the Year Awards! (If you haven't found Inside Xbox yet, start up your 360 without a game in it, and look for the Inside Xbox channel on your NXE dashboard.) Get a tux on your Avatar before you watch it.

 

Many thanks to Colin McAuliffe and the talented Inside Xbox team at Microsoft. And remember, you'll find The OXM Report every other Sunday on Inside Xbox. (If you prefer to watch this or any other Inside Xbox video on your PC or other non-360 device, you can go here, but this site does trail a couple days behind what's currently on Inside Xbox.

COMMENTS:

I understand that there is a majority and a minority opinion for every issue.

I believe that I am totally in the minority with my lack of understanding about the love-fest that has been bestowed upon Braid.

I do understand that it was a brilliantly done game. I don't dispute that at all. I played through it, and thought that it was one of the most innovative and well-crafted puzzle games in years.

I just cannot quite reach that next level of love for it that so many seem to have.

Game of the year consideration? In a year that saw so many major releases that topped your own rating system at a 9.0 or better?

Soundtrack of the year? It was catchy and fit the game well. It was certainly (like the rest of the game) well constructed but again with the love-train that I can't catch!

There must be something that I missed, because I didn't really get the ending which scares me, because so many people raved about it endlessly and I usually catch onto subtlety. Maybe it was just so obvious that I overlooked it? Maybe that's the beauty of it, its so obvious that it got overlooked.

Lookin sharp there guys!

Lookin' sharp Dan, you clean up nice.



Hey Ryan! I have that same shirt! XD
I wonder why...hah.
