Castles in the Sand

By Adam Tiler | March 9, 2008

I have always loved sandbox games. Crysis, SimCity, Supreme Commander [Fn1], Dwarf Fortress, Black and White, Caesar/Pharaoh, and Assassin’s Creed all spring to mind immediately as some of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played.

"The sails were drawn up, and the wind blew, and slowly the ship slipped away down the long grey firth; and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost. And the ship went out into the High Sea and passed on into the West, until at last on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise.”
