Official Xbox Magazine UK Issue 34 October 2004 Fable Halo 2 Burnout 3 SKU 1509

Original X360 Magazine, Issue 55, focused on the Xbox 360 and featuring a major Red Dead Redemption cover story.

The front cover is dominated by illustrated artwork of John Marston from Red Dead Redemption, with the magazine promoting a world exclusive hands-on look at Rockstar’s western title. The cover also advertises additional features on Aliens vs Predator and Medal of Honor, making this a strong issue for collectors of late-2000s/early-2010s Xbox 360 gaming magazines.

Red Dead Redemption Feature

The issue’s main attraction is the Red Dead Redemption feature, presented as a hands-on look at Rockstar’s western action game.

The contents spread uses striking red-and-black western artwork of John Marston, revolver raised, under the heading:

“Wild Wild West – Red Dead Redemption”

This makes the magazine particularly relevant to collectors of Rockstar Games, Red Dead Redemption, Xbox 360 memorabilia and vintage gaming magazines.

Aliens vs Predator

The cover also promotes an exclusive Aliens vs Predator feature with new information inside.

The contents pages show Aliens vs Predator as one of the major preview sections, and there is prominent Xenomorph imagery on the contents spread.

Additional Gaming Coverage

Other notable coverage visible includes:

Medal of Honor – early information on the modern military reboot.
Dead Space 2 – preview coverage.
Splinter Cell: Conviction – preview of Sam Fisher’s return.
Halo: Reach – early coverage.
Mass Effect 2 – review coverage.
Darksiders – review coverage.
Army of Two: The 40th Day – review coverage.

The issue offers a strong snapshot of the Xbox 360 generation during a particularly active period for major action, shooter and adventure releases.
