Gaming in the early 2000s was a completely different world compared to the hyper-detailed AAA releases we're used to nowadays. Retro game consoles brought us janky gameplay and questionable graphics tinged with an unintentionally creepy nostalgia, and nothing demonstrates this better than Piglet's Big Game.

Made for the PS2, Piglet's Big Game was a 2003 'adventure' game loosely based on the cinematic masterpiece Piglet's Big Movie.
