Racing Games: My Secret Favourite Genre | aka I Can't Stop Playing Forza Horizon 5
12Every E3, or increasingly every Game Awards or generic publisher-focused showcase, something fascinating happens.

At this point, the audience on Twitter or in the livestream collectively groans and goes to take a toilet break.
