as opposed to the...professional video games?

A game that doesn't have a point? Kind of defeats the purpose of being a "game", don't it? You could just open up paintbrush and doodle.

You mean freeplay or sandbox? Oblivion is an okay place to start, watch out for The Elder Scrolls; Skyrim too/

Postal 2 is pretty open-ended. You can either do the missions or not.

Murder is only really fun if you decapitate them and p**s on their body after they die.

And in the game.

Well I can have mindless fun for hours on any Grand Theft Auto games without going near the story :wink:

Other than that, online games, be it multiplayer match type ones, or MMO's.
