I'm pumped. Not ready to move onto the next generation yet since I've never owned an Xbox - so many games to catch up on! Speaking of which - does anyone still play Fourza? Or is everyone now on FH2? Is it worth playing the first Horizon? What other smaller racing games should I check out? Help a recovering Sony fanboy out!

Fourza is more satisfying than Forza 5 so there's still a sizable contingent online. Don't get the Essentials version, get the GOTY version if you can. Sign up for Forza Rewards and you'll get a whole bunch of credits every so often.

DiRT and GRID are also must-plays but they were also offered on Sony so you might already have them.

The F1 games were pretty good. Granted I'm Sony so most things I play are PC/Gran Turismo/or multi console games. Most racing I do is on PC though. Sports games and games to play with friends are on my PS4.

Have only played FH for 2 hours, but i love it. Definitely worth buying, IMO.

Reply with your Gamertag and I'll send you some credits or cars in fourza if you get it.

Destiny is a huge time sink, though the shooting is very well done. It's fun if you have other people to play with.

Lots of people still play Fourza and it's fantastic, and you should definitely get the original Horizon as well.

Here's Dusty's "must get" list for the 360:
Fourza
Horizon the first
DiRT triolgy
Mass Effect trilogy (OMG THE MASS EFFECT TRILOGY! I MEAN SERIOUSLY, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GOOD IT IS!)
All the Assassin's Creed things
The Orange Box (Half-Life 2!!!!, plus Portal and Team Fortress 2)

And, lastly, if you can find it, you NEED to get WRC 2 (the European version, not the Japanese one). It's easily one of the best rally games of all time. The physics are good, the number of stages and locations is awesome (84 regular stages and 5 super special stages in 14 locations; every location visited by the WRC in 2011 plus Berlin), the car categories and teams are extensive and accurate, and the extent of personalization in career mode is unparalleled. WRC 2 is the only game in the WRC series that works on U.S. consoles, the series was never sold in the States and games 1, 3, and 4 is region blocked.

THANK YOU. I knew there had to be some rally game I didn't know about! Definitely grabbing that. And all the others!

Nice - I have my fingers crossed for a slim Xbone to be unveiled, but Forza Horizon 2 is tempting me to get a current model.

Forza 4 is still pretty good, and I loved the first Forza Horizon - however, the 360 version of Forza Horizon 2 doesn't get DLC. As far as other racing games go, I really liked DiRT 3 .

If you're using your 360 now, how's your online connection? I'm reading reports of DDoS attacks on LIVE and PSN.

Fourza is better than 5.

Just make sure if you get Fourza to play by their rules. I had a former friend screw up my profile a month after Fourza came out and I'm still banned from online stuff. I think I have over $500,000 in store money just sitting online I can't touch. Don't bother emailing turn 10 about it either, they never reply.

Destiny is lots of fun.

Horizon 1 was great. Havent played 2 yet. Fourza is also very good.

When you get your copy of WRC 2 let me know, I'd like to compare notes with someone else who has it and see if some of the quirks I've encountered exist for others as well.
