Issue 3 of free Xbox 360 magazine delivers exclusive Microsoft interview

360Zine, the free Xbox 360 magazine, has snagged an exclusive interview with Larry Hryb, Microsoft’s Xbox Live Director of Programming, better known to 360 gamers as Major Nelson. Taking interactivity to a new level, readers can read excerpts of the interview in the magazine and click to listen to the entire interview for free as they read the rest of the issue.

"Each issue continues to push the boundaries of what is possible," says Publishing Director, Dave Taylor. "Issue 3 contains the embedded video, the interactive quizzes and animated screenshots that had helped previous issues capture people's imagination, but the ability to give readers not just the interview in print, but the complete audio within the magazine is fantastic."

The new issue continues to deliver exclusive quality games journalism to Xbox 360 owners for free. This issue includes the in-depth review of Crackdown accompanied by a developer interview, as well as reviews of Battlestations Midway, Samurai Warriors 2 Empires, and Fuzion Frenzy 2. There are previews of Unreal Tournament III, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 and Blacksite: Area 51, as well as a feature on HD on the Xbox 360 vs Blu Ray on the PS3, something that concerns all next-gen gamers.

360Zine is a Gamerzine, published in PDF format. Readers simply require a copy of the free Adobe Reader (version 6 or above) to read the magazines. Each Gamerzine includes more than 30 pages of professionally written games journalism and is enhanced with embedded video and multimedia.
