8 Video Games That Actually Made Us Want To Go Outside

5. Forza Horizon

Made Us Want To: Drive cars really, really fast. Turn 10 threw aside the shackles of car simulation (sorry Forza Motorsport, we do love you) to create a game that was both fast and fun €“ Forza Horizon. Set in a fictional motorsport festival, you roam the desert competing in fast and furious races against various opponents. The whole game is built around social elements too; there are speed cameras in the game which clock your current speed and compare it with your friends' top speeds €“ there's a real sense of pride in driving more recklessly than your friends dare. In Horizon, you'll be driving Lamborghinis and Ferraris €“ in reality, you only have access to your parents' Renault Clio (2002, non-sport model). Still, at least it moves right? What a shame though that speed cameras in real-life have no interest in comparing your high speed with your friends'; that £60 fine might impress someone though.
