You've probably seen that Garry's Mod has been featured in several PC gaming magazines recently and now it's featured in bit-tech's 30 "PC Games to Play Before You Die". They have the following to say about it:
Depending on how you look at it, Garry’s Mod might not be a game at all, but that won’t stop us from putting it on this list. It’s simply too much fun to be left off. Well, it is if you use it right anyway. Let yourself get carried away and you'll soon be running around calling people mingebags and randomly deleting their carefully crafted creations. And that's just mean.
Garry’s Mod has no story. It has no aims. It has characters. It’s a sandbox game, but not in the same way that Grand Theft Auto IV claims to be. In GTA IV you can go anywhere, but you can still only do what the developers will let you. In Garry’s Mod that isn’t a problem, as if you want to do something new then all you have to do is create a new LUA code to do it for you.
Starting out as a simple physics mod for Half-Life 2, Garry’s Mod is now a full retail product which lets players take content (either fan-made or from any owned Source game) and...do whatever they want with it. Build huge robots or pose your favourite NPCs, drive cars or have huge deathmatches – the sky’s the limit in Garry’s Mod. Player creations are often mighty disturbing, but if you ask us then that in itself is a reason to give the game a look before the grim reaper visits.
It's pretty interesting as the mod is now placed between games like Mirror's Edge and Hitman: Blood Money. What's also notable is that the reviewer actually seems to know what's going on in the community. Instead of the general sandbox, pose stuff, things like mingebags and Lua addons are noted. This wasn't the case with most other reviews.[...]
