A game that never seems to get old. With a plethora of mods and gameplay modes, it's made it possible for me to log over 700 hours on two accounts.

Some things are buggy and/or exploitable and have stayed that way due to a lack of recent updates, but in some odd way, it helps to add to the fun. Variability in spawns makes each playthrough unique, and helps to make Versus, Survival, and Scavenge modes feel fresh. The source engine graphics help to make a game from 2009 not seem dated. The community around this game can be awful, and it can be fantastic. Depends on whether it's been on sale lately or not.

Met the love of my life through this game, so I'm probably biased, but seriously, just buy it.
