The Player 2 PixelCast 142

  • Summary

  • Big fish, little fish, cardboard box! Big fish, little fish, cardboard box! Ahem. Sorry. To strain this into a truly tortured metaphor, some games are big, some are little, and for a sizable part of the 90s they mostly came in cardboard boxes. Nintendo didn't give that shit up until the Gamecube. Anyway, with the world going (rightly) nuts over Astro Bot, an apparently smaller game that has become a GotY frontrunner, we thought it might be a good time to look at the industry's weird obsession with the epic, overstuffed adventure and compare the pros and cons of huge games and more contained ones. Rob's in charge, so you can blame all the times the topic wanders down a side street on him. You shouldn't blame Renee. And you certainly shouldn't blame Tim. No, absolutely not. Not at all.
