Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine also reviews launch games Amped 3, Need for Speed: Most Wanted and King Kong. The magazine also looks towards the biggest 360 games of 2006, including Namco's Ridge Racer 6 and previews Moto GP 2006 and Final Fantasy XI.

Welcoming the high-definition gaming era, the disc also includes exclusive HD footage of forthcoming Xbox 360 titles.

We cover the other major titles that launched with the machine and we start looking forward to the future, bringing the latest news on new games due to launch in the next few months and beyond. Our first playable cover disc includes demos you won't find anywhere else, and the HD trailers and in-game footage looks amazing when played on the Xbox 360."
