I think islands are better for games because you can make landscapes that much more detailed and close to you. Not to say that a bigger, flatter mass of land ain't fun to frolick about. Back in my teenage years I had designed a world of my own (a whole planet), and it has both big, small, and weird land masses. I lived between Portugal, and Canada, so I don't think where I lived had anything to do with my creation. If anything it was all to my imagination.
