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: No more Monthly DLC: A Pimping Ground For Manufacturers?

Posted on 12 August, 2010 by dkpatriarch

Plus:- Did it just become a pimping ground for new car manufacturers?

Well it has been some time since I last peeked in on the Forza 3 page. So long in fact, it feels like I’ve forgotten what the game is like. (not really, as I play it every week)

Especially considering I’ve been out of the country of almost 6 weeks, and haven’t even had a chance to download the last two DLC’s for the game, let alone even pick up a controller.

Seems almost incomprehensible actually, but here I am, just about to settle down for some more serious Forza 3 gameplay, and I find out that the latest DLC the World Pack, is the “Last DLC monthly DLC” to come from Turn 10. No more tracks, not that many came, only one actually, namely Nurburing GP circuits, and no more pimping for new car manufacturers, thankfully.

But first, let’s cover some ground on some recent events concerning the game. Forza 4 anyone . . . . ?

OXCGN’s Split/Second: Velocity Review – It’s Explosion O’Clock!

It’s More Bang For Your Buck Time

It seems to be a prerequisite for all new arcade racing games to use phrases in their press releases such as ‘adrenaline-filled’, ‘high-octane’ and ‘non-stop thrills’, as if the product they’re selling you is on par with the most explosive of blockbuster Hollywood films.

Some of these racing games deliver moments that live up to these descriptions, but most feel vaguely familiar, so that players feel like they’re playing a sequel to the last thrilling racer – just with updated graphics. Split/Second: Velocity not only delivers on the marketing quotes, it’s a completely visceral experience that at times borders on sensory overload.

Right from the beginning in the menus you’re jolted by music with pounding beats and visuals that include explosions behind the menu option boxes.

Time for some ‘Split Second’ reactions. . .

Every gamer has a game that swallows up time, keeps them fixated and amazed and is destined to be a personal nostagia trip for years to come.  It may be the incredible world that you are immersed in, the gameplay that keeps you amused, or even the multiplayer action you experience.

This generation of consoles have provided a wealth of different games but not all of them have been big long-term attention grabbers.
