An Xbox 360 exclusive, The Forza Motorsport Series is often hailed as being one of the best racing simulation games to go along with its large number of cars and extensive customization options. However, Horizon is more of a spin-off and is taking a risk stepping outside what the series has become famous for to create an open world street-racing game similar to Need for Speed. Whether the risk will pay off is yet to be seen, but if you’re looking for a racing game to add to your collection this is a game to keep your eye on.
Medal of Honor Warfighter
October 23
Warfighter looks to create an authentic military shooter with a campaign mode that will strive to get you emotionally invested in what happens to the main character. As with most First Person Shooters, multiplayer is a key selling point and Warfighter allows you to utilize six different Tier-1 special forces units from 10 countries. There’s also a buddy system where you and a partner will join forces to take down other squads.

October 30
The fifth game in the fames Assassin’s Creed series is set during the American Revolution where players will take control of half-Native American Ratonhnhake:ton to fight the good fight. In this game, players will be able to explore and hunt in the frontier, take part in naval battles, and chat with the likes of George Washington. By improving fighting mechanics by allowing the dual wielding of weapons and pushing the limits of what a console can do, Assassin’s Creed III promises to deliver an experience unlike any other.
Need for Speed Most Wanted
October 30
Most Wanted is an open world racing game where chaos is on the menu from the get go. Sharing its menu with a previous game in the Need for Speed series, this iteration of Most Wanted takes a few things from the old game such as police chases and a Blacklist of 10 races you’ll need to beat, while incorporating some new features. Autolog is one of those features and it allows you to always be connected with your friends and inspires competition to put up the best times and scores to literally be the most wanted amongst yourselves.
WWE ‘13
October 30
To wrestling fans, the yearly release of WWE videogames is something to look forward to and this year the series attempts to lure in former WWE fans by making this game a tribute of sorts to the infamous Attitude Era. Now people can play as old favorites like DX, Bret Hart, Ken Shamrock, the three faces of Foley and more key players of that era. The game also seeks to improve the gameplay of its predecessor to create the most authentic wrestling game to date.
