This week is our third annual Halloween Special that’s actually our second annual Halloween Special (if you know you know) and in the spirit of spooky time the topic is Video Game Franchises We’d Raise from the Dead! We’ve each compiled a few such franchises that haven’t seen new entries in quite some time for us to discuss today!

This week we’re looking broadly at indie, AA, and AAA games and doing a bit of a compare and contrast, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of each one, where our preferences tend to lie, and more!

Indie games, typically defined by their smaller independent development teams and lower budgets, have seen a significant boost in popularity over the last decade by providing smaller, often more unique experiences compared to their AA or AAA counterparts.

AA games typically fall a bit short of AAA in scope and scale, as well as budget, and have seemingly nearly gone away over the last decade as large publishers put all their eggs into their big budget AAA offerings. However, with recent shifts in the industry post-pandemic, these types of games are starting to work their way back as publishers realize AAA development is getting too costly to be sustained.

And AAA games are the big blockbuster experiences with massive budgets and development teams and frequently push the boundaries of technology available while playing it safe from an overall game design standard.

In this episode we are judging gaming handhelds by their covers and ranking them purely based on their looks! Using this highly scientific method of quality assessment, we will be creating an official TOGP tierlist for over 30 of gaming’s most beloved (and maybe a little obscure) portable devices. From the original Gameboy all the way up to the Steam Deck, we’ve got our work cut out for us!
