Playing in My Sandbox

Knightengale (who has contributed to this site in the past) is quite skilled at, and I say this in the nicest possible way, annoying the crap out of me. One of his latest offenses was claiming to be disinterested in the sandbox genre. I was shocked.
In one sentence, he managed to dismiss many games I adored. Assassin’s Creed? Fallout 3? Gasp, Saint’s Row? Come to find out, he had an extremely narrow definition of sandbox games. He essentially restricted it to the GTA series and “clones” thereof, such as Saint’s Row. This cooled me down some, but as I prepared to revise his definition, I realized… mine was not very good, either.
