...which is also a valid viewpoint. But my personal preference is for 
large, impressive games.

I'm still sad that Valve has decided to stop making those and go with 
this whole "episodic" format. It basically means you have to wait 6 
months, pay quite a large amount of money, and then get to play a little 
bit of a small game that is so tiny it's hardly worth ever playing 
again. It's a bit like having a TV series where each 20 minute episode 
comes out 6 months after the last one...
