When I was a boy, I dreamed of being a truck driver. (no joke!) The carefree lifestyle, nothing tying you down as you trucked from place to place and the ability to drive, alone with your thoughts, just seemed ideal. My life ended up heading in a different direction and the opportunity to experience the freedom of life on the road seemed nearly impossible. Then I heard about Euro Truck Sim 2!

This game offers everything I dreamed of as a child and plenty more as it allows you to manage your own trucking company if you so desire. You can track shipments, make deliveries, and watch your enterprise thrive. The ability to stream live internet radio or your own tunes while behind the wheel is a fantastic complement to this game and it makes the experience that much more realistic.

When I need to relax, this is my go-to game. Simply driving around with no real purpose surrounded by muffled road sounds and radio brings me a peace I've never before had playing a game.
