I've put Colin McRae Rally in brackets because it doesn't really deserve a post on HUKD of its own, to be honest it doesn't really deserve a page on Steam. But it is what it is, so you decide if you want it.
P.S If you picked it up in the recent Google Play deal, just stick with that, eh :smiley:

"User reviews: Mostly Negative" Ouch. Looks like it is a port from the mobile version not a remaster of the original.

Disappointing got quite excited when spotted that (more for nostalgia)

Shame as CMR2 was amazing back in the day!

there's so much content out there for FSX (for free) that 4 quid really is a steal
even a fairly budget stick will do as well, so long as it has z-rotation
don't touch that CM game though, it's a bad mobile game port

well with nobody seeming interested in my Oculus Rift I think this may be reason good enough to unpack it and perhaps do some flying soon, £4 does seem amazing for the product

Could you expand a little? Where does the rift play into this? Just curious.

the rift is compatible with this game, you're basically in the plane - just need a joystick and you're flying!
you need to use third party plug-ins (free or purchase but mostly free, donate if good though) such as vorpx or the seemingly dedicated FSX - this explains it perfectly and might inspire you:
Good price for this however, is it always so sloooooow to download things from their website?
It has been downloading for 2 hours now and is only at 20% (my internet connection is fine)....

I'm a bit out of touch tbh, my Logitech Xtreme 3D Pro served me very well for around 10 years, and since one of the axis went awry I've been using a Saitek AV8R I had spare
both good sticks, both cheap, just don't know if they're still for sale :P

I've had this on DVD before, but lost it. It's great for £4 and as always from Steam it's a superfast download with 25% down in 10mins. The Steam network is very resilient, so any problems are likely to be connection based.

Anyone know where the £4 deal is?
The only ones on STEAM start at £19.99. Is there a code or something?
