Forza 3 Arriving On October 27

Quote:

At least one game will be making it out on time this holiday season. While everything from Red Steel 2 is being pushed back into 2010, Forza 3 is still right on track. Microsoft has announced that the latest in the racing series will be available this October. Forza 3 was the subject of numerous leaks before finally being revealed at E3. After all the rumors and speculation, it'll be good to finally see it on store shelves.
