Well if you expect TOCA 3 to be a first-person shooter, you'll be disappointed. Or a platformer... etc.
But what it is is a great, fairly realistic racing sim. It's more arcadey than say, GTR2, and more realistic than NFS. The cutscenes are a hoot and it can get challenging, considering there is damage simulation and sometimes you really need to know how to shave off a second from your lap.
Flatout is a lot more arcadey, from what I have gleaned from a quick 5 minutes of racing.
All in all, it's $8 for both, which is awfully cheap just to try out.

RafaelLopez: Are the discounts valid for other racing games, namely Megarace?

Games that the discount are for are usually mentioned in the promo announcement/forum post (in this case they are TOCA Race Driver 3, FlatOut and 1nsane) or the promo page. It never applies to other games. You'll have to wait for specific promotion for them.

Sheesh, they're practically giving FlatOut away. Buy it, it's excellent.

Hah, wow. I pay more for a 0.5l bottle of Dr. Pepper here in Norway, than what FlatOut costs right now. Needless to say, I decided to buy it.

This is what I noticed, my sandwich I bought today cost more than FlatOut so I got it as soon as I arrived home.
OT: Congrats on the 100 Rep-get!

Still... what kind of sandwich are we talking about here? A bad Costa Coffee sandwich? TF2 Heavy sandwich? Lame Starbucks sandwich?

No way, the only place I get my sandwiches from is 'The Tea House' which is run by a friend. They cost £3.50, and they're worth every penny. My usual is a Bree and sun-dried tomato with mixed leaf and peppers all on multi-seeded bread. The average dimensions are 60mm x 130mm x 130mm.

We do live in a peculiar world when it's more expensive to eat than play video games...

Thanks!
My massive GoG-Type e-penis can now really impress the noobs, me thinks.
Still a bit in the shade of the towering phalluses that stand twice the rank above me, though...

Anyone would like to speculate that on may 29th there'll be an annoucement saying due to new negociations with Codemasters those titles won't be removed from the catalog after all? :D

I'm worrying more about an enormous nematode from an ancient and forbidden part of the universe coming to the consume the sun, if my estimates about the corporate mind is correct...

Your trust in the corporate ways is astounding ...

That sounds wonderful. Thank you for the dimensions.

Hmmm is it a one of its kind in the market, or is there anything else similar to it? I like the fact that it's got so many vehicles for you to drive, but I'm not familiar with the racing market, so I don't know if there are any similar games out there that offer more features than TOCA3
