Railworks 2 & Farming Simulator 2011 50% off
You can find details HERE
Farming simulator 2011:
You can get a demo of the game HERE. When I went to the Steam forums there was a lot of derisory comments about buying such a game. Many though how could you call a Farm simulator a game; anyway, I played the demo and though it worth purchasing. I love simulations games of any type (e.g. demolition simulations, car simulations, ship simulations, submarine simulations and real military simulations and life simulations in general.
The Game:
The sequel to the best-selling worldwide hit "Farming Simulator" has loads of new features!
Assume the role of a farmer experiencing the challenge of 18 hour days running a new farm in the middle of beautiful rolling countryside.
You start the game by choosing from a small collection of vehicles and machinery to explore your fairly sparse farmland which measures just 4 km. As you progress through the game you complete a variety of tasks like breeding and feeding the cows or spreading manure, milking, plowing, seeding and baling to build up wealth to invest in newer and better equipment and machinery.
Multi-player mode allows you to manage your farm together with friends over the Internet or local area network.
With career mode you take on the role of a young farmer and experience the workaday life of the countryside in a completely adaptable world.
Choose from loads of authentic licensed farming equipment including tractors, combine harvesters, ploughs, seeders and balers.
Thanks to the licensing of machinery from leading manufacturers including DEUTZ-FAHR, KRONE, HORSCH, PÖTTINGER and VOGEL & NOOT you are able to take control of authentic farming equipment.
Features:
• Career mode with business section and cattle breeding
• Multi-player mode for playing together with friends over Internet/LAN
• Large new vehicle fleet with authentic agricultural machines by DEUTZ-FAHR, KRONE, HORSCH, PÖTTINGER and VOGEL & NOOT
• Lots of sophisticated equipment
• Computer controlled helpers
• Gamepad and steering wheel support
• A modding community that make available new vehicles and new scenarios (Check HERE for mods, though they will probably not work with the demo???

Railworks2:
Railworks is probably one of those games only railway enthusiasts will like. It's also probably one of the most expensive games I’ve ever invested in to date but only because of all the add-on packs which amount to over £700 at the moment with more add-on packs coming in the future, on top of that you can purchase scenery packs and other models from a couple of developers who specialize in railway simulators (including Microsofts older game). Railworks has been reduced by 50% but only when you purchase the farming sim with it. I’ve got both games and they are excellent sims.
The game includes several scenarios to play through as well as loads of rolling stock and several locomotives for you to try. The add-on packs are not necessary but they do expand the locomotives and rolling stock as well as add loads more scenarios to play through. There is a good scenario editor to create your own though. So you don’t really need any of the add-ons, though it’s nice to get more locomotive choices and there are several add-ons that model new areas of the world. Have you ever fancied travelling the Settle to Carsile route in the UK. A beautiful stretch of railway history, which has been shut since the 60’s (I think). The following is Steams information about the game. All the images posted are from the base game, and show what variety you'll get with just that game. none of the add-ons are required, but they do add an awful lot more to the game. (Which is why I’ve been slowly purchasing them all. I've only got about 7 to buy now, but won’t till I see them reduced as I think the full price is too much

About The Steam Exclusive BNSF Officially Licensed ES44AC & SD40-2 RailWorks Add-on (Included)
For more than 150 years, the BNSF Railway has provided the backbone of US freight transportation, delivering all manner of goods across 28 states and two Canadian provinces. These BNSF Heritage schemes and locomotives stunningly reproduce one of the classic American marks.
The BNSF ES44AC & SD40-2 RailWorks Add-on contains:
SD40-2 Heritage 1 livery - Black text on the side and logo disc on the nose
SD40-2 Heritage 3 livery - Italic text on the side and nose
SD40-2 'Snoot Nose' Heritage 1 livery - Black text on the side and logo disc on the nose
ES44AC Heritage 3 livery - Italic text on the side and nose
Included Scenarios:
Free Roam: Monument
An assortment of engines are located at Monument on the Castle Rock Railroad. Click an engine to start driving; as you explore the route you can jump into any other available engine in the vicinity. Other available engines, and assorted freight cars, are scattered throughout the route.
Cement Snoot
Drive a cement train out of Victorville to Barstow using a Snoot Nose SD40-2 engine.
Running Notes: You will need to set the switches to Barstow Yard 10. Do this before you reach the Barstow Yard Gate 01 marker to ensure a smooth transfer into the yard. Similarly, check the switches leading out to Barstow East Yard 1 are set after you have dropped off your freight cars.
Against the Grain
You are moving hoppers along the line starting with a set of full grain hoppers at Monument. Bring these to Castle Rock where new empties must be taken to Larkspur.
Running Notes: After you have dropped off the hoppers at the Castle Rock Cement Plant you need to pass back through the yard to couple to the waiting empties. The best path through the yard is through Castle Rock Cement Arrival 2 then couple to the empties with your engines pointing towards Larkspur.
Don’t Stop Moving
Take a long, heavy train up the Cajon Pass on a winter morning. There are higher priority trains on the line so stop at signals when needed. However, coming to a stop on the steep up grades of the pass may cause problems.
Running Notes: Ensure the train on the North track reaches Summit before you. This may involve a slower climb up the Pass. After Summit, both you and the other train will be travelling North on different tracks until Lugo where you will end up on the same track. Allow the other train to pass the junction at Lugo first so you can follow in the next signal occupation block.
Free Roam: San Bernardino
An assortment of engines are located at San Bernadino on the Cajon Pass route. Click an engine to start driving; as you explore the route you can jump into any other available engine in the vicinity. Other available engines, and assorted freight cars, are scattered throughout the route.
