It’s supposed to be all about Halo 3 right now I know but the folks at Microsoft snuck this in for all you racing fans out there. For 400 Microsoft points, Forza fans can own the track taking laps in 10 great vehicles including a race ready turbo diesel (the Audi R10) and a low performance class inline 4 that’s an absolute tuner’s dream (the Honda Civic Si Coupe). Show your muscle with an American classic, the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T or turn it up another notch behind the wheel of the 415 horsepower, 8,400 rpm 2007 Porsche GT3 RS.

For those of you who have already listened to Episode #36, you’ll remember that I talked about having an Unscripted 360 car made in Forza Motorsport 2. I mentioned my good friend Jaken Bear from Xbox Canadian Live on the show and he came through for me. So take a look at the Forza Motorsport 2 U360 car that I’ll be racing. You can race it as well if you want me to gift it to you.

I know many of you have been wondering what’s next after the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta? What can Xbox 360 owners look forward to playing as the wait for September 25th begins? Here’s my rundown of titles that you can look forward to and some that you can head out to play right now (or again).
Forza Motorsport 2 - May 29
Racing fans around the globe have been eagerly anticipating the release of this sequel. It’s the Xbox 360’s premiere simulation racer so you know the goodies are packed within. Try playing it with the 360 wireless wheel for maximum experience.
Shadowrun PC/Xbox 360 - May 29
Hey you asked for something to do while you wait and this is a very viable option. If only for the PC to Xbox 360 play, Shadowrun is worth a test drive. The multiplayer has as good a chance as any game to be great especially considering it’s the only option available.
Turn 10 Community Manager, Che Chou, just released some eagerly anticipated news about the Forza 2 demo that quite a few of you have been waiting for.
“Demo is definitely hitting tonight — but it’ll be pretty painful for east coasters. Trying to pin down an exact time.” - Che Chou
Excited now? I’m sure you all are. So get ready to taste some Forza 2 racing tonight!
It’s fast approaching May and the release of the highly anticipated sequel to Forza Motorsport on the Xbox 360. During GDC, the Forza team announced the line up of more than 50 American production cars that will be included in “Forza Motorsport 2,” nearly half of which will be making their Forza debut when the game launches worldwide in May.
More details are also available now on a very exciting new feature that will be included in “Forza Motorsport 2”, the Livery Editor. The Livery Editor adds a whole new level of customization to the game, giving the Forza community the freedom to truly “build their dream vehicle” using any of the 300+ cars in the game. With the new and improved Livery Editor, gamers can put their own personal touch on every vehicle in their garage using unique paint schemes, personalized decals and logos, as well as their own art creations.
You can even put these creations on sale via the Xbox Live Auction House, a completely new and in-game marketplace where players buy and sell their one-of-a-kind cars to a vibrant Xbox Live community. I posted the video of the Xbox Live Auction House in action below.
I’m not big on sim racers but this one is looking hot with the new features like Livery Editor and this Auction House!
