Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine promises to change the face of games magazines forever.

With interactivity and community at the heart of the Xbox 360 experience, the website will have a big impact on the shape of Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine. Through the site, gamers can share their opinions and even offer their own games reviews, which will appear in a subsequent issue of the monthly magazine.

Gamers can play their part in building an all-new Xbox 360 community - www.oxm.co.uk will allow them the chance to chat, discuss and debate anything related to Microsoft's console, and then match up with their new friends on Xbox Live.

Tasked with extending the experience of the magazine to the web is newly appointed Online Editor, Graeme Boyd - previously News Editor for CVG Online. Packed with specially written editorial, www.oxm.co.uk gives gamers the finest Xbox 360 news and information, regularly updated throughout the day.

As the online extension of the ONLY official UK Xbox 360 magazine, www.oxm.co.uk has unrivalled access to the console and its biggest games.

Graeme Boyd, Online Editor of Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine, said:

"Microsoft's new console will change the face of gaming forever, and using the website as a gateway to exclusive content will revolutionise the experience of reading a games magazine. The website will break the biggest Xbox 360 news stories first and will allow gamers a chance to directly influence the content of the magazine."
