In [ | Old Man Murray was a gaming blog with feisty criticism of the industry; its writers would later work on [[wp:Psychonauts|Psychonauts]] and the [[wp:Portal (series)|Portal games]]. In [https://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/39.html one of their most famous articles], they suggested that the ultimate quality of a game could be judged by a single measurement called "Start to Crate": the amount of time from the start of the game until the first crate (or barrel, etc.) is sighted. The smaller the time, the worse the game, as the use of crates to adorn a level demonstrates that the developers have run out of ideas. | ||
