Constantine Could Still Appear on Arrow

Turn 10 has revealed a further 40 cars that will feature in the Forza Motorsport 6 garage, including a pair of vintage McLaren race cars that have never appeared in a Forza game to date.

The second is the 1966 McLaren M2B, the McLaren team’s first Formula One racing car. Also driven by Bruce McLaren himself, its F1 career was brief but it nonetheless scored the McLaren team’s first-ever point at the British Grand Prix.

HoloLens Primary Focus Won’t Be on Gaming
When HoloLens finally becomes a consumer reality, its focus won't be on gaming. At least, not at first.
According to an interview on ZDNet with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, HoloLens will be aimed primarily at professionals. "It's going to be more about developers and enterprise scenarios," Nadella said.
However, Nadella sees a bright future for the device in gaming, specifically, Microsoft-owned Minecraft.
Nadella said Microsoft bought Minecraft to "create a new genre of gaming for mixed reality," among other reasons. He wanted a "hit game" that would lend itself well to the new mixed reality medium, and with Minecraft, Nadella believes "we will have that."
