Xbox One is just months away and while there may be some (ok, A LOT) of debate about online connections, used game sales and more, one cannot deny that there are some great games coming out later this year and I for one can’t wait to play them, even if I wish Microsoft would clean up their act in the hardware department!
“Forza Motorsport 5” is a cinematic automotive journey starring the world’s greatest cars and tracks. Built from the ground up to take advantage of Xbox One and the vast power of the cloud, no game better delivers the wide-eyed thrill of racing. – Turn10
