While Dirt 3, Dirt Showdown and Grid may not match the popularity of the Xbox exclusive Forza games, all three games have been well received back in the day and playing these racing games with your Xbox One wheel will provide a miles better gaming experience (pun intended). Overall, it’s good to see that Microsoft seems committed to make backward compatible games a seamless experience on the Xbox One, and going forward it may well make a difference to attract more console gamers into the Xbox One ecosystem.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.
