Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters Review Rewind

A sidequest that implements some good gameplay concepts but has its share of problems.

It was clear pretty early on that Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters was not created by the usual developers, Insomniac Games. When I touched my first exploding box, and heard a foreign countdown sound, rather than the one I was familiar with, I knew something was different. After learning that Size Matters was developed by High Impact Games, some of the tweaks and deviations from the norm made a bit more sense. It's like the Minish Cap of Ratchet & Clank; it fits in pretty well with the rest of the series, but definitely has its own character and set of drawbacks.

Ratchet: Deadlocked Review Rewind

While it's not explicitly stated, Ratchet: Deadlocked marks the first spin-off title in the series. Drop in and see what's changed!

I'm not quite certain what Insomniac Games was going for when they created Ratchet: Deadlocked. It's clear that it wasn't meant to be a traditional Ratchet & Clank game, as the experience is something similar, but quite different at the same time. Rather than the typical action-platformer gameplay, Ratchet: Deadlocked is a third person shooter, through and through.

George Lucas Could Learn Some Things From Video Games

When it comes to re-releasing older content, he is still but a padawan.

Recently, the complete Star Wars collection of films was released on blu-ray. It was something that fans of the venerable movie franchise had been clamoring for, but what they got wasn’t exactly what they wanted. George Lucas, now known more for tinkering with his previous works than as a creative force, once again made some baffling changes to his original trilogy. Fans were angry, as fans often are. While it should have come as no surprise that Lucas would be tweaking his movies yet again, this time the changes were a little more head-scratching than Greedo shooting first.

Sideway: New York Review

I'm all for innovation, but not at the expense of core mechanics.

Sideway: New York is the kind of game that you really want to be good.  Its visual charm and unique take on the platform genre make a great first impression, but a few technical issues and a repetitive soundtrack deliver a one-two punch from which it never fully recovers.
