Ratchetrospective: Ratchet and Clank: (Into the) Nexus
It's time for the final entry to the Ratchetrospective
The PS4 was released
in November 2013, so it’s time for the Ratchet series to say goodbye to the PS3
to move onto new platforms. After 2 games which in many ways departed
drastically from the formula, it’s time to return back to the classic formula
although with a few updated tweaks. This game isn’t long; it was released only
a year after Q-force so it didn’t have much time to get any longer, especially
since they were developing multiplayer maps for Q-force post-release.
It’s also
time to look more closely at the ‘Future’ trilogy as this promised to be an
epilogue to that story. How does it hold up? Let’s take a look at Ratchet and Clank: Nexus

Ratchetrospective: Ratchet and Clank: Q-force (Full Frontal Assault)
The year is
2012, it’s Ratchet and Clank’s 10th anniversary and to celebrate, a
remastered trilogy is being released, but that’s just there to tide you over
for the real Ratchet and Clank coming out that year. Promising a short game
with some tower defence mechanics, an old face to return and the first game
with competitive multiplayer since Gladiator (Size Matters notwithstanding).
This is Ratchet and Clank: Q-force

Ratchetrospective: Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One
We once
thought that a Crack in Time would be the end of the Ratchet series, but it
continues, even getting a new release this month. But when you’ve released 7
games already you can start to worry about the formula getting a little stale.
So, it is my ‘pleasure’ to introduce the biggest departure from Ratchet formula
Insomniac games has ever done in Ratchet and Clank, All 4 One

Ratchetrospective: Ratchet and Clank #1-6 (bonus review)
A late addition of the Ratchetrospective but I’ve referenced it often enough, and it’s
referenced in the opening chapter of All4One so I figured I’d give it a short
review. Short being the operative word here, just trying to give it the once
over.
This comic
was a 6-issue mini-series, published by DC’s Wildstorm imprint for the first 4
issues, and then under DC comics for the final 2 issues. Written by T J Fixman, who had written
the Future Trilogy, and drawn by Adam Archer, who recently has done work on
Gotham Academy (come back Karl Kerschl) and was an artist in the Scribblenaut’s series (which I haven’t
read) does it turn out alright, let's take a look

Ratchetrospective: Ratchet and Clank (Future): Tools of Destruction
Well, we’ve
finally arrived at the PS3 games in the Ratchet and Clank Universe, and there are 6 of them.
Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction was released in 2007, a full 2 years
after Gladiator. It’s quite clear it takes longer and longer to develop games
now than it used to, so… Let’s take a look
