Halloween in Truck Simulator

I have been kind of wanting an excuse to go back to American Truck Simulator recently and they have a new little Halloween event going on, so it seemed like a good excuse. I think it ends November 15th. I meed to keep an eye out for the next sale on maps, because Illinois comes soon, and I need at least Wyoming and St Louis to make that work, since I have Colorado. The event is running in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. Rewards work in both games. I have run the missions in both games.…

Review – American Truck Simulator (PC)

The Good Strong Developer Support Sprawling environment to explore Straightforward Gameplay The Bad Free drive could be more flexible No official online multiplayer Repetitive gameplay There are a lot of Simulation games out there covering a crazy array of subjects from Farming to Forklift driving.  To some extent, some laws regarding video game content in some European countries can be blamed for this trend.  It's also nice to be able to do even simple things that you can't normally do.  A lot of these simulation titles are flat out garbage, with mediocre graphics and very little realism in terms of…
