Oh well, just gives me more time to focus on school.
I'm still skeptical about Horizon and if it's going to live up to the Forza name. I'm going to download the demo, but I'm too lazy to move it from one room to another to hook it up to internet
We'll see how this turns out though!

I played the demo yesterday
I... didn't like it. It was gimmicky and boring to me. I'll stick to Forza track racing

Review: 'Forza Horizon' takes racing to the street
The latest edition in the video-game series includes road racing in Colorado, except there's not a cop to be found.
By Perry Stern 2 hours ago
If you've played one of the preceding "Forza Motorsports" titles and were expecting more of the same, you’re in for a significant change. Horizon puts you at a music festival in Colorado. You’re an up-and-coming street racer attending the event to advance your career. I’m not certain how the music festival fits into the whole theme, but it’s apparently the reason all these racers have come to Colorado.
As in earlier versions, "Horizon" features beautiful scenery, perfectly rendered cars and true-to-life driving dynamics. But now, you aren’t limited to driving just on the track. Hundreds of miles of roads have been rendered for your enjoyment. It’s a nice mix – city streets, country roads, freeways, even dirt roads for the wannabe rally driver. You get the chance to experience how quickly traffic appears when you’re cruising on the highway at 200 mph in a Lamborghini Aventador, or how far you can drift a classic Audi quattro. Of course, racing remains the game's centerpiece.

The cars
There are some great cars in "Forza Horizon," ranging from classics to muscle cars to outrageous exotics. Unfortunately, you’ll need to own a car before you can go cruising in it. This is something I always liked about the earlier Forza games – you could sample almost every car on every track. In "Horizon," you’ll need to own every car to try every car, either by buying them at the game's nonstop Auto Show or from winning certain races.
A surprise bonus – if you have earlier versions of Forza, a selection of cars will be imported into your garage. Other cars can be downloaded through Xbox Live, where new packs will be available every month. You’ll find a few fun ones available for free, including the game’s cover car, the new SRT Viper.
Racing for points, ranks and credits A variety of races is available at any one time. Most races are closed courses with a set number of laps or a route from point A to point B. Races can take place on pavement, dirt or a combination of the two. Depending on how you place, you earn both credits and points. Credits can be used to buy new cars from the Auto Show or upgrade your current cars, while points are accumulated to move you up in level.
Levels are represented by colored wristbands. Each time you earn a new wristband, new races are made available. Of course, higher levels mean faster cars and harder races, but with more credits and points to be earned.
In addition to earning credits for shopping and points for wristbands, you also earn style points that measure your overall popularity; drifting, near misses, air time and burnouts are just some of the ways. It's similar to "Gotham Racing," where players earn "kudos" for outrageous stunts -- and just as in "Gotham Racing," if you hit a wall or another car in "Horizon," you lose your accumulated points.
Street racing
Street races, where you'll need to dodge traffic to beat your opponents, are new to "Horizon." Many of the maps are modeled after real Colorado roads and scenery, except there are no police anywhere in the game. If you happen upon another racer on the road, you can challenge him on the spot to a street race. I was a little disappointed that the cars only show cosmetic damage without penalizing performance. However, given the number of “accidents” I had driving around the roads, my car would have been scrapped had the damage been realistic.
On the road, you have to find the races yourself. Bring up the map, choose your destination, and you’ll be directed with map and voice prompts. If you have a Kinect, you can use the voice activation. Say “GPS” and voice commands are displayed so you can program your destination while continuing to drive.
With multiple levels of difficulty, plenty of races – both local and online - and miles of open roads, "Forza Horizon" can easily keep the driving enthusiast entertained. And while it is a departure from the rest of the Forza series, it’s still great fun.

With Seattle's trademark rain showers returning after an odd dry spell, I finally had the excuse to plop myself in front of the Xbox with "Forza Horizon," the latest game in the console's popular racing series.

Yes, they made a new "Most Wanted" which in my opinion was the best need for speed game that they made. The new one is made by the same company that made the new hot pursuit and it has an updated 'autolog' system and has a lot of cars and I think that there is also trucks and SUV's in it as well

I played the demo the other day, seems pretty cool. And if you pre-order with the demo (or something like that) you get a Viper for free.
