“Big” 
is really just a matter of perspective when it comes to video games. There’s big in terms of sales (see: Call of Duty), big in terms of popularity (see: Pokemon), and, of course, big in terms of sheer gameplay size (See: Skyrim).
Then there are games that are big in the conventional sense: massive physical structures. While portable games might be more popular, there’s a niche market for folks who like to super-size their games. Here are some of the truly biggest games in the world.

America elects its Commander in Chief, Xbox 360 owners will likely elect to spend some time with a different sort of Chief.

While 
most ten-year-olds are happy simplyplaying video games, that wasn’t enough for Dylan Viale.

Since 
the story of his handmade cardboard arcade first surfaced on Tuesday, he’s become one of the most popular figures on the Internet.

The 
winner of more Game of the Year awards than you can count, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim isn’t exactly a title that causes you to shout at your TV.

The 
seemingly never-ending saga of the ending of Mass Effect 3 has taken another odd twist.

When 
nine-year-old Caine Monroy spent his summer vacation building an elaborate arcade out of cardboard boxes found in his father’s used auto parts store, it was the sort of project that typically would have been remained a cute tale told at family gatherings.
But then filmmaker Nirvan Mullick stopped by the east Los Angeles shop. He was looking for a door handle for his car, but was captivated by the world Caine had created — and quickly became the first customer of Caine’s arcade.
The
