The next Forza game is set in an open world. Wait, what? Yes, it's an open world modeled after Colorado. And smack in the middle of the game's setting is a racing festival that you will partake in when Forza Horizon releases October 23 for Xbox 360. » 8/30/12 9:00am 8/30/12 9:00am

Total simulation racers are not something I've played much at all. I've got nothing against them, but I tend to drive like a maniac and a lot of the detailing and physics are like pearls before swine with a guy like me. Reflecting on my preferences makes the existence of a spinoff title like Forza Horizon apparent. » 6/07/12 12:30am 6/07/12 12:30am

Forza is one of the few first-party franchises Microsoft bothers maintaining these days, at least for more serious gamers, so you can bet they were showing off a Forza Horizon trailer during the company's E3 presentation. » 6/04/12 2:56pm 6/04/12 2:56pm
