You can always tell the holiday season is coming by hardware manufacturers bumping down their prices in preparation for our annual spending splurge. Nintendo dropped the Wii price this morning, and now Microsoft has entered the arena with some price cuts of its own. These come in the form of $50 cuts on its various holiday bundles.

Developer Turn 10 and publisher Microsoft have revealed a new downloadable content package for its simulation racer Forza Motorsport 4. The December DLC package is sponsored by the editorial site IGN and includes ten new vehicles. The content will be available on December 6.
Though the content is sponsored, it won't be offered for free. Gamers that have purchased the $30 Forza 4 "Season Pass" will get the DLC free, otherwise it is priced at 560 MS Points ($7).
No fewer than ten new vehicles are headed to Forza Motorsport 4 on November 1 via a 'Speed Pack' DLC bundle.

Like millions of gamers, the Weekend Confirmed crew jumped all over Batman: Arkham City when it came out this week. There's an abundance of love for the game, but Garnett does take exception to the move that put Catwoman out of the reach of gamers without an Internet connection. Along with the two Jeffs--Cannata and "Indie"--and with our second Play For Japan charity auction winner, Eric Hwang, they're just getting started. Forza 4, Skyrim, Orcs Must Die, and Dungeon Defenders all commanded attention over the past week. And the group also weighs in on the rising cumulative cost of games with DLC season passes, the Vita's launch outside Japan, whether the "core" audience is perhaps shrinking, and more before wrapping it all up with Finishing Moves.
Microsoft continues its battle for the checkered flag with Forza 4, poised to assert its claim as the king of the driving simulator hill once and for all against a growing market of steep competition.
It's been a titanic struggle, and Forza 4 comes out convincingly flexing its technical muscles. Speed is never compromised. No matter how fast, no matter how detailed the environments, the action flows across the screen in a steady stream. It's the constant which, together with the game's well-tuned controls, allows racing fans to lay down just the right line to take a car through a corner on the very edge of grip.
