Editorial

These are the guys who make OXM happen:

  • Jon Hicks - Editor

    OXM Jonty /

    Jon started his writing career on Windows magazines, accidentally stayed for five years while writing about games in his spare time, then moved to OXM as Editor. During that time he has eaten unidentifiable pink lumps in a canteen in Chernobyl, been forced to attend a strip club by a director of a major games studio, fallen asleep in the middle of interviewing a Microsoft vice-president and told Activision's head of PR that Call of Duty would never take off because it was ‘just a Medal of Honor clone, really.' He doesn't have any spare time, but if he did he'd spend it buying terrible cars on eBay.

  • Curtis Phillips-Cozier - Art Editor

    OXM DJ Coziee

    OXM's longest-serving staffer, Curtis joined the mag in the days of the original Xbox and has outlasted all challengers to become the resident fighting game expert. He now spends more of his spare time DJing than playing games, but can always be tempted back by Kinect Sports or Trials HD.

  • John Finbow - Deputy Art Editor

    OXM Roll N Go

    The world's most deadpan man, John spends his days designing the magazine and his nights rebuilding his Lambretta, which has now sprouted so many Mod-style accoutrements it requires its own full-size parking space. His contribution to the magazine was honoured by our in-house Rock Band's first album release, Finbow's Sex Face.

  • Jennifer Meade - Production Editor

    OXM RockOn

    The endlessly patient overseer of OXM, Jenny presides over the day-to-day organisation of the magazine, bringing order to an office that resembles a recently-looted branch of Gamestation. Currently on maternity leave attempting to persuade her husband not to raise their daughter as a WWE fighter. Her Kryptonite is Nicolas Cage, for reasons that have yet to be identified by science.

  • Jon 'Log' Blyth - Staff Writer

    OXM Log /

    Our in-house celebrity, Log's CV includes work for PC Zone, the Guardian, Charlie Brooker's production company Zeppotron and the book and TV series The Law of the Playground. Despite all this and winning multiple awards for his writing and video production, he remains entirely self-deprecating. Everybody calls him Log for reasons that unclear, even to himself.

  • Matt Lees - Staff Writer

    OXM Jam Sponge /

    Tall chap with hair trapped in an imaginary gale, usually seen wandering around singing songs that don't exist. Started playing games at some point in the late 1980's, and hasn't yet found a convenient point to save and quit. Matt spent the best part of two decades enthusing wildly about games, and has managed to find a variety of different ways to use this to help him pay his electricity bills. After spending a couple of years dabbling in market research and public relations, Matt decided to quietly hop over the fence in an effort to try and get some sleep at night.

  • Edwin Evans-Thirlwell - Online Editor

    OXM ETBoy /

    The poshest man in videogames, Ed claims to be from Yorkshire but in fact won it in a baccarat game. Since joining OXM in 2011 he has been persuaded not to use Latin in his games coverage, but still persists in claiming that Mirror's Edge is one of the best games ever created. He is responsible for most of this website, particularly the bits which contain whimsical references to Bertolt Brecht.

  • Scott Gilchrist - Disc Production Manager

    Scott has been working on Xbox discs since the dawn of the original console, and can remember when the all this was to be ruled by Blinx The Time Sweeper. Nowadays he leads the team that creates the discs for OXM both in the UK and abroad, a process that involves emailing people about Ms Splosion Man at three in the morning.

  • Anthony Willcox - Xbox 360 Developer

    Our resident development wizard spends his days hunting bugs through a sprawling, ever-developing jungle of different code, and then fixing them with surgical precision. Or if there’s no time, cobbling something together with string and sticking plaster and getting it through to certification with minutes to spare.
