A Train, Train Simulator, Densha De Go! and now Railfan. What is it that makes train games so popular to gamers? All Genki can think is its the reassurance the train provides (although not quite so dependable here in the UK.) But the gentle rocking of the train as it click-clacks across the track, the steamy windows keeping the cold and the weather at bay with the occasional glimpse of the outside world, the bit of the track where the power always drops, the characters riding them (although sometimes best not to check what they are reading...) The train game experience wraps its arms around with assurance and acts as a real comfort blanket. Just make sure you stop on the line and for heavens sake don't be late.
