GTA IV, Crackdown, and maybe Just Cause 2.

If it counts as this gen, then Garry's Mod 10. If not, then GTA IV.

In terms of fun, Crackdown. In terms of story, GTA IV. However i think Just cause 2 will be my personal favorite when it launches.

True, not to mention respawning enemies. My biggest and near only complaints. Typically though, I'd do some hunting via wildlife or merc camps along the way.

I'm going with Borderlands or InFamous. Red Faction Guerrilla was pretty darn good also.

I enjoyed it too.

On top of that, I'd say Crackdown and Saints Row 2.

Out of my personal experience. I'd say inFamous for single player and Saints Row 2 for 2 player co-op. Both are awesome games.

I'm gonna say inFamous. I wasn't too impressed with GTAIV. It felt too watered down compared to San Andreas.

I'd say Red Dead Redemption will take it. I havn't played too many sandbox games this gen. Of the ones I've played I'd say Infamous...and if it is the best then just wow...this gen really need some sand box games. Infamous is good. But IMO, it is overrated. It needs 8 or 8.5. The only ones I have played are GTAIV and Infamous though. And GTAIV...I literally didn't like it. I'D feel bad for giving it 6.0...but thats kind of how I feel for it At the Moment.

I'd say either GTA4 or Infamous

Judging by the Just Cause 2 demo I don't think that will be better than either of them

None of them have really impressed me that much to be honest, but if I had to choose it would be between GTA IV and inFamous.
