OXCGN’s Forza Horizon Review

Time to upgrade to a new model?

This is not a true sequel to Turn 10‘s Forza 4.

This is a separate experience.

Forza Horizon is a spin-off title designed to work in conjunction with Forza 4 and create something that some of the Need for Speed: Underground fans would want to sink their teeth into.

Can you see the horizon line?

OXCGN’s Kinect Rush Review: Rush to the shops?

OXCGN’s Kinect Rush Review

Rush to the shops?

Editor: Let’s face it, a hardcore gamer doing a review of a Disney inspired Kinect game is like a hard-core metal rock fan reviewing popular young pop artist Justin Bieber’s latest album.

So we at OXCGN decided that it was more in keeping with the target market of Kinect Rush to get our guest ‘Kid Gamer’, a tween who held a game controller before he learned to walk, to do this review.

I have to admit that since getting my own Kinect over Christmas for my own children and non-gamer guests, I’ve had a load of simple but pure fun swashbuckling and kicking hombres in Puss In Boots and swinging my arms around wildly in the must-have Kinect Fruit Ninja.

However, for a ‘real’ gamer this is the snack before the upcoming AAA title.

How does this attractive looking Kinect ‘snack’ fare with the ‘Kid Gamer’ tester? Does it take him to Disneyland, or a Kinect hell more like being trapped and strapped onto the It’s A Small World ride? (watch link for self torture)

Disney Adventure this way

Forza Motorspot 4 has roared onto the Xbox 360 and into the hands of many eager motor-heads out there, ready and waiting to burn some rubber out on the virtual tarmac of the plentiful courses Forza 4 has to offer.

But is the new model worth the on-road cost?

Drive this way for more Forza 4 …

Forza 3 Official! Gentlemen Start Your Engines…

The ground is about to rumble . . . .

by Team OXCGN

We here at OXCGN have been speculating on Forza 3 for yonks, and have such a huge car racing following that we have a section devoted only to racer games. Well Forza Motorsport, by master studio Turn 10, has always been special, especially to more serious racer simulation fans, and Forza 3 is set to outdo even its previously lofty standards.

• Recent news – Aussie Cars included in Forza 3

Forza 3: will the box art look like this?

At tonight’s Microsoft Keynote introduction to E3 it has finally been officially announced that the beloved Xbox 360 exclusive is back, and in a big way! It will be released in October and will feature a number of new features as well as retaining many of the old.

As usual there is a huge variety of challenging tracks and powerful sleek cars to play with. Forza means “force” or “strength” in Italian, and the series is known for just that: powerful cars and skillful gamer drivers who spend hours perfecting their racing techniques in single player and on Live.
