Well if the playstation magazine was purley objective then what would be the purpose in it being called the "official playstation magazine" ?

I don't think anybody is expecting pure objectivity from an official magazine, but OXM does a really good job of shooting straight and taking Microsoft to task whenever they deserve it (RROD, lack of mandatory hard drives, criticisms of NXE, you name it). Most importantly, they don't ever engage in this type of "nya-nya-boo-boo, we stole your exclusive" shit (not even for Final Fantasy XIII). They even openly ridicule the console warz. The OXM writers seem like gamers first and foremost; this guy seems like a flaming fanboy.

Exactly. Hell, they even managed to write an entire article about how great Killzone 2 looks without ruing the fact that it's not coming to the 360.

That's great, the official magazine for the 360 wasting time writing about another platform.

Btw, I've read PSM, now OPM, for a long time.  One of their first reviews while OPM was a 6 for Warhawk, and they got a lot of backlash for that.  They put out a great magazine and it's not like Nintendo Power used to be.  Nintendo Power is now under the guy that used to do PSM, Chris Slate.  Both are pretty good magazines right now.

Your use of 1 article to trash a magazine is rather ridiculous.  He's praising the game by saying he wants it on the system he owns.  Big deal.
