When is it enough? How many hours do you want to spend trying to cobble together fantastic vehicles and buildings out of a million odd pieces when you could just be playing Half-Life 2 or any of the other Valve games that this mod was based on? But on the other hand, having the whole world to yourself can be a little intimidating. I mean, I love the fact that I can go anywhere in a game environment instead of the pre-defined course from Game Start to Game Over. I’ve got to say that I have some mixed feelings about these open sandbox games.

It’s quite a pleasant world when you first appear, but really, that’s just an invitation to litter it with junk and blow up as many things as possible (or so depraved gamers like me think). Thus far, it’s included such purchases as The Shivah (wherein I play a rabbi trying to solve a murder mystery) and the much-acclaimed Garry’s Mod (wherein I wreak havoc on the physics of an open sandbox world). So, thanks to this year’s Steam Summer Sale, I’ve been able to better manage my budget and time for playing video games.
