Half-empty games

Justin Kemppainen, Minnesota Games Examiner writes:

I still love VALVe. As if I haven't made that clear enough in the many things I've said about them. They have a very high standard of quality, even if it takes them a jillion years to get anything created. All that does is enslave me further. Make me desire what only they can provide.

They do, however, long delays aside, have this tendency to make games that could generously be described as unfinished. Now, I'm not referring to bugginess or gameplay issues. As per their standard, most games of theirs roll off the assembly line very clean, bug-free, mostly well-balanced, and containing an excellent experience that is often unparalleled.

Variety and longevity are something that are sometimes lacking, however.
