New issue of OXM out now - it's Star Wars: Battlefront vs. Call of Duty: Black Ops III

We flew across the world just for it. Weve seen it in action. Weve written 10 pages on it. Our Star Wars: Battlefront feature doesnt just contain everything you need to know about DICEs galactic shooter it contains everything there is to know. From big-picture interviews to the tiniest details, you wont find more info anywhere. And I promise that isn't just me pulling a mind trick.

Its easy to sneer at a third sequel to a sub-series that is itself a sequel, but Call of Duty: Black Ops III might actually be doing more to change the CoD formula than any of its predecessors have for, oh, I dont know, a decade? Custom characters in campaign, set characters in multiplayer, death to corridor shooting - things are changing. How do we know this? Weve played it. Quite a lot.

Theres a good chance youve not heard of Smite yet. Would it interest you to know that its best players have already received more than $2 million in prize money just for being good at it? Yeah, better get reading our full rundown of the unconventional MOBA before the game starts its beta test on Xbox One.

No mere slideshow can contain the might of our magazine. We look at the past (retro features on Star Wars games and Prince of Persia), present (a huge reviews section telling you everything you do and dont need) and future (our Genre Busters feature highlights how Xbox Ones upcoming indies will be smashing conventions wide open). Find out how to get your hands on all of this below.
