Forza has always been at the brink of racing realism, but the upcoming Hot Wheels expansion takes a very quick turn away from what most Forza players may be used to. Quite frankly, we think it looks pretty exciting.

In the upcoming Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels expansion, players will be able to unlock and play a number of Hot Wheels style cars and race on a number of race tracks inspired by some of the most iconic Hot Wheels sets of yesteryear.

Yes, that does mean you'll be able to race through bright orange loop-the-loops and all sorts of other physics defying twists and turns. Here's a description from the developers of the upcoming expansion:

"Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheels takes players to six new themed islands located off the coast of Australia; all connected by a network of Hot Wheels tracks -- positioned hundreds of feet in the air -- featuring classic Hot Wheels configurations like loops, corkscrews, and more. This is stunt driving at its most extreme, where

It looks like Turn 10 have been busy. The next iteration in the lineup of Forza Motorsport games has been announced. Forza Motorsport 6 will be launching exclusively on Xbox One, and Microsoft have teamed up with Ford to give the new Ford GT a starring role in the game.

Whilst we weren't expecting such an early announcement of Forza 6, Microsoft took to the North American International Auto Show to announce the new game, and it's clear that the Ford GT will be the car to feature on the cover of the upcoming game by Turn 10.

The release of Forza Motorsport 6 will mark the tenth year anniversary of the game series, so as you can imagine, Turn 10 are feeling like doing something pretty special with the game. Alan Hartman, studio manager for Turn 10 mentioned that, "When we first were doing these, it would be kind of like, 'Hey please, can we have that new car you showed in Detroit?' That's where we were back 10 years ago. But over the last three or four years, the involvement

Earlier this week, Microsoft released a brand new car pack for Forza Motorsport 5. The car pack, which has been named the "Smoking Tire Pack," was released on February 4th, and came with a total of 10 new cars to test out in the game.

The Smoking Tire Pack DLC has been set at a $10 price tag, and includes a wide range of high profile sports cars, including iconic cars like the 1994 Nissan Fairlady Z Version S Twin Turbo and the 2000 BMW Z8, among many other great vehicles.

Although you will have to cough up an extra $10 for the Smoking Tire Pack DLC for Forza Motorsport 5, if you actually want to use the cars in game, you will still have to purchase them in the marketplace by using the credits or tokens.

It has also been stated that you'll need to unlock them first, which should stop any new players jumping in with a brand new Maserati MC12 whilst other racers are still bumbling  around with Mini Coopers and Peugeot city cars.

A lot of these cars range from releases

One thing that Microsoft couldn't boast enough at this year's E3 was 'the power of the cloud.' Matchmaking, stats and other player and game information could now be computed in the cloud, on Microsoft's own servers.

According to Microsoft this meant the Xbox One could be even more powerful as it didn't need to compute these things itself. It also opened up windows for new technologies such as the Forza 5 Drivatar AI.

However, Sony has said that the new PlayStation 4 can also harness the power of the cloud as well. Shuhei Yoshida made a statement saying "Linking, matchmaking, there are already many computations being done on the cloud side, if your title needs an online connection to provide some online features: Go for it."

So is Microsoft's hyped 'power of the cloud' nothing that special? Microsoft has managed to make good use of it with Forza's Drivatar, and hopefully we'll see more good uses in the future.

GRID Lasts 30 Hours

Codemasters has recently sat down with VG247 to let fans know that their new racing title, GRID 2, will have over 30 hours of playable game time within the singleplayer storyline, making the game stand out from many other games recently released with short single player campaigns and story modes.

Senior executive producer of Codemasters, Clive Moody has said that "If you want to 100% the whole game - you're looking at 30-hours plus for the average gamer to get through that experience."

"That's doing everything we have to offer, all of the side events, promotional events and challenges as well. It's a large experience that will keep people

Got that racing fever? Cant wait a few months for Forza 4 to come out? Go shred in Dirt 3, which was released today! Choose from 50 cars and over 100 courses, this is a game that all racing game lovers should pick up. With an emphasis on sick tricks and nasty conditions that you must traverse in stunning HD quality, Dirt 3 delivers on all cylinders. The biggest 2 biggest factors that really push this game into the upper echelon of best racing games ever created however, are the sound and the interaction with the environment. The reason I list sound first is because judging from the reports I have read, and since I am not a car expert myself, all indicators point to the notion that the sounds emitted from these virtual engines is startlingly realistic. The sounds of different terrain, the crunches of packed down snow, and swoosh of gravel and mud as you slide is just a few of the endless sounds I am referring too.
