This is the first of several controversial awards for 2016 – Best Game.  Yep, with all the games, on console, PC, mobile – of all of them released in 2016 we had to pick one.

The winner is Forza Horizon 3 – the EFTM Best Game 2016.  Forza is a mixture of defined tasks, optional content and free-play.

While hard-core gamers will likely contend there are many other games worthy, I think for the casual gamer the concept and inclusions in Forza Horizon 3 are outstanding.  Plus it’s based in Australia!

You don’t need to buy optional download packs, you don’t need to earn a heap to get into some great cars, it can simply be great fun.

As far as games go, it’s one that keeps me coming back time and time again, Forza Horizon 3 is great for lovers of cars, lovers of motorsport and those who just love playing games.  It’s our EFTM Best Game 2016.
