Well, TheNerd has kindly provided another submission for member monday, so here it is:

The Open World

I've been around video games for a while, but there is one game mode that I love, no matter what kind of game. From MMORPGs, to shooters, to racing games, I always appreciate a good open world. Runescape had a stranglehold over me for a couple years. Why, all you WoW players will ask. Because it was a fun world to just travel around. I could stop around in various places, play mini-games, woodcut, and fish. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was probably one of the best games ever made. A lot of people were fainting over the campaign mode. Meanwhile, I was driving around in the nearest crotch rocket, spawning a tank, and pumping up my star level in free play. The Need for Speed series was also great for the open world feel. Personally though, I see the number one best series for free, open play as Tony Hawk. Huge skate park maps, malls, and schools open the doors to hours of fun.October of this year should bring out a game to the PS3 and 360 that I think I might enjoy. Midnight Club: Los Angeles has the free soul feel of GTA, without the mindless (but ever addictive) slaughter. EGM is giving it a great first word, saying that it will be a racing game to remember. Truly an open-world city-based racing game, this is a must buy for any gamer like me.

If you agree, as I do, with TheNerd, about open world games, I recommend checking out the Orginal Mercenaries. Thats a game where you can while away hours finding treasures, jacking choppers, and blowing up NK Jeeps with a tank.
