Welcome to Live Magazine and our NOVEMBER edition! In 1844 poet Thomas Hood wrote a poem entitled November. It’s a depressing piece of writing that basically describes November in London... cold and overcast. Our November promises to be much more cheery thanks to the launch of the new Xbox One and Playstation 4. We’re in for a golden age of gaming with powerful new systems that promise so much. New games, new controllers and exciting new ways of interacting and playing games are the promise. We thought we’d take one more look at what the consoles both offer gamers and do a side by side comparison. Plus we get those in the know to look back at the 360 and PS3 and also give us their thoughts on the new systems. This month we also take a peek at what’s coming out with a flood of previews including Dead Rising 3, Mad Max, Need for Speed Rivals, The Sims 4 and tons more. Plus a special look at what could be an epic new release - Wolfenstein : The New Order. We’re also looking at some hot new graphic novels, anime, retro and of course our Cosplayer of the month - Callie all the way from the U.S.A. Speaking of the U.S, we’ve also started our new columns from our U.S and U.K correspondents as we grow our reader base and our content. So say hello to hours of great gaming with hot new consoles and goodbye to your social life - thanks Microsoft and Sony! See you soon with our mega Christmas edition...
