Valve Looks Beyond The FPS

Spitfire15 writes "IGN reports that Valve is looking to create games beyond the FPS Genre." From the article: "In comments made at the 2005 Digital Interactive Entertainment Conference in Kyoto, Japan, Robin Walker, Valve's Design Manager, stated that the company is working on 'cooperative building games.' Walker stated that an example would be '[building] something like a space ship or a machine with people online instead of shooting and killing each other.'"

It all sounds good until some griefer spends six weeks amassing a bunch of building blocks and the rare "Cone of Zeus", and constructs a giant phallus on the front of the spaceship.
