The type of things the community would come up with keep the game being played for ages. The ending is one of those things you always wish you could do in other games thinking "Man, if I could do this it would be awesome." And finally you could. So cool. :D The idea of a map maker SDK is mind-numbingly awesome. The type of things the community would come up with keep the game being played for ages.

Totally a Valve move). This game definitely belongs up there with some of the top games of all time. The first play through I tried to get through the maps with speed, and a few of them definitely made me stop and try out a new tactic. It ended up taking me a bit over 5 hours. I've been slowly going through them now and there's just so many little things here and there, bits of story, rat man's hideouts, jokes and subtle remarks about Valve's universe that they've created. There's just so much that I feel like I've only just scratched the surface. There will be even more to this game once they get the map maker SDK out (Conceivably even fan fiction!). Another amazing feat of pure awesome in the creation of this game is the audience that it appeals too. Valve is definitely on the level of Pixar here in that this is viable to give to a 13 year old, just like it is a 45 year old. I might try to get my father to play, and for various reasons, the last time he played video games was during the NES era.
