Train Simulator 2012 is really good, if you have an interest in trains at all. I'm thinking of maybe picking up some of the DLC.
67/100 ?!?! Are you yanking our (conductor) chain?

You guys are such enablers
I blame this forum. If I never visited this place for a computer issue when I got my new computer I would have never learned of steam sales.
So in a far stretched out kind of way, you are partially responsible!
I keep looking at it. Except for using some controls to drive the engine, what do you actually do?

I was so excited to be done with purchasing on steam, since I thought I picked up everything I would want... then I see the GTA series the whole thing, on sale for cheap today... Damn.

You operate both cargo and passenger trains, adhere to timetables, control and maintain speed, adapt to different weather conditions, avoid wheelslip, etc, etc. There's different scenarios you can do which range from Easy to Hard, and can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours long in real time.
The learning curve really isn't that big. Most of the challenge is getting used to the "feel" of different locomotives, how they accelerate and brake. That sort of thing. The physics are surprisingly good; when you're sitting in the cab and going around a curve, you can actually feel the train tilting every-so-slightly and bumping along the track.
It can be a very relaxing game (as long as you pick an easy scenario). There's something very calming about sitting in the drivers seat of a passenger train, hearing the engine roar beneath you, and watching the rainy European countryside as it rolls by.
The damage hasn't been too bad for me (yet)

WTF.
I paid £9.99 for GTA bundle 2 day ago.
Now it's £4.99.........Damn.....Maybe i am buying too soon.
Can we crank it to full throttle and nail cars at crossings?
I voted for E.Y.E. It's set in a DeusEx-ish world and has lots of weapons and play styles (hacker, assassin, sniper, brute, etc), and looks like it would be pretty fun with a few friends. I considered grabbing a 4-pack a while back and then got too busy to play it. It's already 60% off ($4 ea., $12 for a 4-pack)), but if it goes on sale for 75% off I think I'll bite.
I had a lot of fun with Saints Row 3 so I was considering the GTA IV package, but:
SecuROM + GFWL + Rockstar Social Club to play it, despite it being on Steam.
That's quite the steaming pile of DRM to poop on anyone wanting to play it.
Will someone please give me a Limbo testimonial? I have it on my wishlist, but I can't remember why. It looks drab.....and spooky which usually isn't my thing.

E.Y.E is TERRIBLE... dont get it.... JUST DONT... no idea how is the MP, but single player ii was able to play like 1 hour before dumping it.
No idea about the other games though...
