Since Garry's Mod can technically play without requiring any other games, it's considered a stand-alone game. However, it uses other games for content. GMod is played best when purchased with Counter Strike: Source.

Gmod or Garry's Mod was a Half Life 2 modification untill the modification got popular, then, Garry decided to make it a full release or a 'Stand alone' .Valve allowed Garry to use Valve made objects, textures, scripts, AI, particles ect. A year later many offers to work for Garry rolled in, thus, Facepunch Studios was born.

Garry's mod was very popular with the making of videos, pictures. Untill the releasal of SFM to the public, Gmod has decreased rapidly in videos and posters/pictures made in Gmod due to SFM's more advanced ways.

Garry's Mod then allowed addons to the game, allowing players to freely add in custom made options, weaponry and thus, gamemodes rolled into Gmod fort he first time. The first ever gamemode to role into Garry's Mod was RP. or more popularly known as Darkrp. A roleplaying gamemode based on the modern day life.

Eventually. In 2011. Steam was about to release workshop and Garry's Mod one of the first to ever feature workshop items. Many believed this was the end to Garrysmod.org but Garrysmod.org lives on to this day. The start of 2011 Garry leaked his second upcoming new project 'RUST'. A survival island horror game inspired by DayZ and Minecraft. When RUST was released at December 11th 2013. Garry's Mod his nearly 1 million copies sold.

Garry Newman then said "Garry's Mod is a mod where you can mod mods to have fun with mods."

It's great when you have Google.

from what I know, Garry's Mod was originally just a sandbox gamemode mod for Half-Life 2, but due to it's rising popularity, and the fact that you no longer need Half-Life 2 to play it, it is now considered a stand-alone game
