Love it or hate it, those are the basic mechanics behind most racing titles, especially since these days there appears to be very little variety between them. Press releases usually highlight licensed vehicles such as Ferrari and Porsche (but never Skoda, for some reason) or city-based circuits that are in reality just a custom racetrack littered with famous landmarks. Some developers however have tried to buck this trend (Burnout Paradise and Test Drive Unlimited) whilst featuring timed routes and tradable cars. These titles had more emphasis on exploration and discovery, a little like Driver or Grand Theft Auto without the walky bits. Not Trackmania United Forever though."
It’s wednesday, the third day of Steam’s Ubisoft week of deals, today’s game of choice on offer is Trackmania United Forever Star Edition.

I freshly hope they have a splinter cell deal this week that's what I'm holding out for. Here's hoping
there on sale not on steam. search them there 33% off

I was eager to discover discounts on EA sales, but ubi... I don't even check.
Trackmania is awesome. (only played the free version, mind)
You gotta play it while listening to Eurobeat. Always Intense!

The sales really started strong, but today and yesterday's sales were a bit lackluster, to me.
Hopefully they will go all out tomorrow, if only not to be overshadowed by D2D's crazy Monday sale or whatever they are calling it.
cyber monday.
I've never seen any cyber monday deals that were as crazy as black friday deals thought.
i doubt Valve ever releases their steam sales numbers. How did you get info about the sales then?
I was not referring to the sales themselves, but the deals. The two first days had better games in my opinion. I bought 5-6 games in the two first days, I thought about buying RE5 yesterday, but decided against it since I already own it on console aswell as Borderlands (actually own it on PC and PS3), as for today, I checked the list, closed Steam, told myself I'd come back tomorrow.
Of course, this is very subjective, since I already owned many of the games that were on sale, but it does seem like the bigger games were on sale on the first day, mainly L4D2 and DAO.
2.2 - I think he just meant in reference to the titles available. I skipped out on 2 because I thought I might have had a crack at some other ones I would be more likely to play, then the last two days didn't have much at all, that I was interested in personally.
I lolled at the demo on 360, but mouse control would probably make it seem like nice interactive tetris levels.
*looks at unassembled PC parts from black friday* >_<
