XboxWorld Australia was one of the earliest websites to start reviewing only Xbox games in Australia.
I joined the forum very early on, and became a regular contributor from 2003, writing for the site until 2018.
A selection of my XboxWorld articles is found below.
NOTE: Some articles were used across the sites I wrote for, and are tagged appropriately, but apologies for any duplicates.
DISCLAIMER: I used to work in Video Games, and did so whilst writing for XboxWorld Australia, but at no time did I review any game I directly worked on.
The full list of articles can be found here.
- Playboy: The Mansion - SEX! Do I really need to say anymore to get your attention? It's the PLAYBOY game – of course you're interested! But is it any good?
- Xbox Music Mixer - Do you have a large MP3 collection and wish you could listen to them when playing xbox games? Are you the next world idol wannabe? Consider yourself a bit of a VJ? With the Xbox Music Mixer hone your skills with the Karaoke function, play around with audio and visual effects using the Music Player and Rave Mode, and use the PC transfer tool to get your favourite MP3s into the game.
- Battlefield 2: Modern Combat - This made for Xbox version of the best selling PC game is, surprisingly enough, just as solid in the single player game as playing online. Featuring a very cool and unique game mechanic, it shouldn't be overlooked by those without Live.
- PES 09 - When I played Pro Evolution Soccer for the first time about 3 years, I was instantly sold on it. Sure, the game had funny names for teams and players, and the presentation was poor, but none of that mattered because the gameplay on the pitch was so good. But oh my, how the mighty fall. PES 09 doesn't feel like the same series I fell in love with 3 years ago.
- Magic the Gathering: Battlegrounds Demo - Magic the Gathering is one of the most popular trading card games worldwide. Boasting over a massive 6 million players, the market is definitely there for an xbox version – it’s just how they convert a tabletop card game to the xbox is the real question.
