Tell me about another game out there that lets you beat someone senseless with a giant purple dildo-bat... Yeah, I don't think there's anything out there that has this functionality built-in to the game, from the developers and not a modder. It's got a special kind of GTA-esque humor, and executes this immaculately. I cannot recommend this game enough - if you liked GTA, but hated the tight-knit storyline, and just wanted to drive around running people over and turning things to shit, this is the game for you.

I'm not sure if I beat this game, or it decided to fail at the last second. It's really more of a story-teller's dream, as the player controls when the pages are turned, if that makes any sense while using an FPS-style game. Makes heavy use of the commentary functionality of the Source engine. Very beautiful scenery, well detailed, beautiful soundtrack - it's worth a playthrough at least once.

Best modder-friendly game ever. Want purple dinosaurs you can ride? Sure, just mod it in. Want to see all the women naked while doing menial tasks around the town? Sure, install a mod through Steamworks. The greatest rpg/fps to come out since Fallout New Vegas.
