Not a PC racing game per se...Euro Truck Simulator 2

I know I know - you are probably cringing or rolling your eyes in disgust and I can't blame you lol  I did the same thing. 

 

Anywho the game is a lot of fun if you give it awhirl.  There is a demo so download it and see what you think :) it's kind of like if Forza or GT5 were open world and you could just drive around but you have little RPG missions to do and you build up your truck fleet/garage and learn new liceneses that allow you to haul different products etc. 

It's really great for a nice chill drive around and see the country type of thing.  I swear I'm not crazy - the game has been getting great reviews and a lot of cynical people (like me) who laughed at the game have been enjoying it.

Here's a couple of trust worthy, hardcore sim racers, reviewing it :)

Yeah I am tempted I have to admit, maybe it will find it's way onto the HD, I wonder is there a multiplayer function? The old "looks like we got ourselves a convoy" thing could be fun.

there is a mod ( or was ) in development for MP but so far sadly there is none that I have found.  A convoy would be a blast lol

some mods I suggest include the real physics mod (which adds more realistic physics to the game....and allows you to take theroad-speed governors which limits the speed to 55 MPH (I guess they do this to rigs in Europe?) and I got a great TSM Map 2.0 mod that adds about 30 more cities, new routes, scenary etc. (really great mod that adds so much content to the game.
 
 
 
anywho.....the speed mod might help you to flip one of these bad boys.  I've definetly been on my side - but I haven't rolled the thing down the highway taking out cars like bowling pins yet lol

Well as it's on Steam I'll wait for the sale, there is always a sale sooner or later... maybe by then there will be MP,

Thanks for the heads up on mods fella!

I never really thought about them for ETS 1 or 2.
