It"s time for yet another game category sales event on Valve"s Steam service. This time, the week-long event celebrates games in the Steam with some kind of transportation. It"s the Steam Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Fest, and it runs until September 23 at 1 pm Eastern time (10 am Pacific time).
While the title of the event shares the same name as the classic John Hughes-directed 1987 comedy with Steve Martin and the late great John Candy, Valve"s event is not related to trying to get back home for Thanksgiving dinner. Rather, it lets Steam users save some money on games that center on planes, trains, and cars, plus other forms of transportation like trucks, buses, boats, and even spaceships.
