Official Xbox Magazine Awards – That's What a Real Gaming Mag. Does

In a ceremony on Wednesday 14th March, the Official Xbox Magazine team announced their games of the year for 2007. The ceremony was a triple celebration, also marking the fifth year since the launch of Xbox and the fourth birthday of Xbox Live. Hey, the PS3 has its own magazine now, did you know? Yeah, only their magazine has an almost naked girl sitting on the toilet with her panties down and flushing the water.

Anyway, while some prefer to promote their games with sex (quite frankly I don't mind Consoul Magazine's idea, but don't make it so damn obvious) others actually promote their games and only their games. The winners at the ceremony were Microsoft’s Gears of War, Take-Two’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Atari’s Test Drive Unlimited, Eidos’s Lara Croft Tomb Raider, Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 6 and Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Vegas.

Emma Parkinson, Assistant Publisher of Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine said: "The spread of winners just goes to show the variety and quality of games that are available for Xbox 360. We wanted to celebrate what’s been a brilliant year for Xbox 360, and the fifth birthday seemed like the perfect opportunity."

Steve Brown, Editor of Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine also stated that they're "delighted by the number of excellent games that come out for Xbox 360" and that "it was hard choosing from the nominees," although there was no questioning what the winners were. Official Xbox Magazine readers also voted in the Most Wanted Game category while the Readers’ Choice, was obviously Halo 3 followed by The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. That's what a real gaming magazine is all about. And I'll bet they don't have girls with toilet paper in their mouths presenting the winner titles.
