So we had all this time at home and we're hanging in. We just started seeing her having these seizures. It was just a couple a day and Zoe really just stayed on top of it and documented everything. It went from a few seizures a day to hundreds," Gourley explained. Once their daughter was diagnosed with DHDDS, they were extremely concerned.

Review: ‘Forza Motorsport’ and ‘Crew Motorfest’ hit reset on racing franchises

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:10:17 GMT

The biggest change with “Forza Motorsport” comes at the end of the name. It lacks a number and that omission says a lot.This latest entry to the venerable racing sim is both a reboot and a new approach, one that takes advantage of ray-tracing and artificial intelligence but also acknowledges the way games are evolving into living and breathing entities that stand the test of time.That means the launch of “Forza” isn’t the finish line for developers at Turn 10 Studios, but the beginning of a long race.

Instead, it doubles down on the racing sim elements and role-playing-game-inspired upgrade system.REALISM TURNED UP TO 11That will make the latest chapter a little sterile for some, but for hard-core gearheads and competitors, “Forza” provides one of the most realis...
