Forza Horizon has released a new, and free, downloadable content pack. The 1000 Club DLC features two new cars – the 1956 Ford F100 pickup and 1995 RUF CTR2 – but the more important part is the fact that players can now partake in a rash of new challenges.

How many? Try five challenges for every car in the game. The DLC will even recommend challenges for you depending on which cars you already have in your garage. What’s more, they aren’t just kept to the typical stunts we’ve seen from the game so far.

For instance, you may have to cause a certain amount of damage by running over objects, or do something like jump your digital supercar a specific distance, and each car has its own set of unique challenges to keep the gameplay interesting. Did we mention that it’s also free, as in 400 MS points (or $5 US) less than the typical monthly Forza Horizon DLC pack? Check out the quick video below for a better look at what the free DLC has to offer.

Video: Forza offers <i>Top Gear</i> car pack for April [w/video]

Forza Horizon fans will be pleased to read that a new car pack is available for download today, this latest one selected by the editors at Top Gear magazine. True to the Top Gear image, the selection of rides is both worthwhile and pretty quirky, too.

A 2012 Aston Martin Vanquish and the legendary Mercedes-Benz AMG CLK GTR would seem to lead this class in terms of performance metal, though the utterly lovely Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale Zagato is no slouch, either. You might not instantly remember the Bowler EXR S, but rest assured that the love child of Land Rover and a rally raid outfit is a high-horsepower SUV that should be fun to use on the unpaved sections of the Horizon universe.

Still, the big win here is absolutely the 2011 Ford Transit SuperSportVan. A full-size Euro cargo van, pumping out an whopping 198-horsepower and with a center of gravity roughly eight feet off the ground. What’s not to love? Follow on below to watch a video introduction to the Top Gear car pack, as well as a short description of the full list of available cars.

Honda giving away free Civics in <em>Forza Horizon</em> to celebrate launch

Filed under: , , ,

Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you’ll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you’ll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.

Otherwise, the word “Challenge” keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it’s not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title “The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon,” and meeting the man in person.

Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.

Get Your Face in Halo 5 by Kicking Ass in Halo 4

Leave a comment


Halo 4 developer 343 Industries made a number of announcements today, highlighted by an upcoming Virgin Gaming-sponsored tournament that can score you a Halo 4-themed Ford F-150 SVT Raptor pickup (as seen in Forza Horizon) or an appearance in a future Halo game.
Beginning today, all Halo 4 players worldwide can begin registering for the free-to-enter “Infinity Challenge” by visiting the official website. Then, on December 17, qualifying will begin for both the War Games and Spartan Ops arms of the competition. For War Games — where the Ford truck is the prize — you simply have to play in the Infinity Challenge matchmaking playlist in order to start climbing the leaderboards. This playlist will rotate game types each week and will include Infinity Slayer, Regicide, Dominion, and Capture the Flag. The rankings will group players into three tiers, with the Tier 1 folks eligible for the top prizes. Qualifying ends January 10, 2013, and the finals will begin on January 12.
