Halo 5: Forge Coming To Windows 10 In September
Back in May Microsoft had announced Forge, the Windows 10 based map making tool for Halo 5: Guardians which made gamers rejoice in hope that the complete Halo 5 was coming to the PC. However, it was revealed that it was only the map editor, although it does enable online multiplayer against other PC players.

Mclaren and Forza Motorsport 5 team up
The appearance of a Forza 5 on the Xbox One isn’t exactly an unpredictable move. Of course, the challenge is how to improve upon Forza 4 which already looked incredible, had a brilliant single-player structure and genre-leading multiplayer modes, and had some of the best, most convincing handling around. Even the AI was hard to beat. What could Forza 5 add except an extra layer of visual polish? The icing on the cake is that McLaren Automotive has teamed up with Xbox to offer one of the best seats of the summer at the 2013 Festival of Speed: the passenger seat of the McLaren P1™ while it makes its global dynamic debut at the world famous event. One lucky competition winner will be given the chance to experience the famous Goodwood Hill course, and be part of the McLaren 50th annivers...
