For those of you that have been living under a rock, the Forza franchise is a staple Xbox title and prime opponent to the Gran Turismo line of racing simulators. Since the initial release many years ago, Forza has maintained a dominate place in racing fans’ hearts, giving Microsoft’s consoles a much needed racing simulator. Forza Motorsport 5, as an Xbox One launch title, aims to bring the racing simulation series to the next generation of consoles with an amazing array of cars, tracks, and a new feature called Drivatars. While initially a bit of a joke, the Drivatar is serious business and it brings into play the first truly next-gen feature; unique AI opponents that are based on actual gamers. The “Racing Game of the Year” package is the full game as well as all released DLC packs, including an exclusive Top Gear content pack, adding a good dozen or two vehicles as well as a a number of astonishingly beautiful tracks.

But with so many options available, it’s the arrival of new deals that really gets us gamers excited, and today marks the arrival of the latest batch of discounts via the Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale for 28th Feb - 6th Mar 2017.
Let’s take a look at the best and worst deals of the week to see what you should be looking to spend that hard earned cash on."
I don't know... maybe the 100% off BFBC Vietnam?!
This author totally screwed the pooch on choices made.
BFBC Vietnam is in the EA Publisher sale, not Deals With Gold. Had it been in Deals With Gold you'd of seen it in there.
With the sizes of the last couple of games i see the available space on my Xbox One is declining fast. GAME now offers a solution to this problem with the COD: Advanced Warfare 1TB Xbox one Console
At the Detroit auto show next week Xbox will have a presentation at Ford's booth according to a schedule recieved by automotive blog site Jalopnik. Ford's new GT succesor, codenamed "Phoenix" will be there, could it be Microsoft revealing it as their new cover car for the rumored Forza 6?
Infamous, I'm sorry but GT is simply outdated. They need to do some big things to catch up with many of the more modern game mechanics of Forza. It's just a more polished game, period.
And if GT7 has up-res PS3 cars... I will go f*cking ballistic.
Indeed look at all the drive club articles! 99.9% about screenshots and graphics lol.
Forza 6. In before GT7. Sony should feel ashamed.
@gayboyz09 Milk?
You mean Uncharted. Gran Turismo and Killzone....
Seems the only salty people commenting are PS fanboys like yourself. Youd swear there was a Blizzard outside all the salt round here.
Why ashamed? Because they don't release ever year or two years a sequel?
You enjoy your Forza and the others enjoy their GT.
Ashamed because even with over 2 years of development it still lacks in many areas other than physics in comparison to Forza that was done in less time.
GT takes forever to come out and GT5 and 6 were very disappointing and incomplete. They never fixed the sound on 5 and it's been a year and still haven't fixed 6. It took along time for 5 even though they cut and pasted car models from PS2. How long do you think it will take for GT7 and will they cut and paste old car models?
You criticize a company for taking years to release a game then talk about milk?
There's only 5 Killsones and one is on Vita. The series started in 2004 on the ps2. There were only 2 releases on the ps3 and one so far on the ps4.
Meanwhile, we are up to 8 Halos and yes I'm counting the 40 and $60 re-releases because they actually spent time developing these remakes. There's been a Halo 5 of the last 6 years. There's no other exclusive franchise leaned on as hard as Halo other than Mario and Pokemon.....and Forza.
There are only 4 Uncharteds and 4 Gears of War only one of them is a handheld game. Both have sequels I. The works.
Now GT is up 6 but that's 6 full games in almost 20 years and 3 consoles. Meanwhile, there's been a Forza every year for 4 years straight.
I'd rather a dev take there time and create a game versus pump out games like Call of Duty every year.
Edit: Forgot about the Halo RTS...
But, they took their time on GT5 and 6 and they were both disappointing. So, time doesn't guarantee a good game.
Yeah so both GT5 and 6 outsold the last 4 Forzas so how disappointing are they really?
Awesome, leading the way by racing in full 1080p 60fps glory.
Been waiting for this.
@ Gamersheaven, yes we saw the price when Killzone SS went to 60fps in multiplayer, they had to redo the way they processed the resolution, dropping it to 960 x 1080
Edit 2 @ Gamersheaven, yes, one maintained 1080p 60fps, the other tried to up the fps to 60 at the cost of resolution. No nerve, just reminding of what your mother should have told you about stones and glass houses.
it's also got the full game on disc, fm5 originally didn't have game on disc instead you downloaded the rest of game,
