Ratchet and Clank 5 Trailer

Posted in Video Games at 4:04 pm by earl

Well, I’ve decided to join the bandwagon of people with a video category by…..creating a video category. I’d like to thank James for his great work at getting this great plug-in, and now you can all see the great Ratchet and Clank goodness! Well, I thought I would start it off with something good, and boy did I!

Hands-On with Ratchet:Deadlocked

I actually borrowed this one from my neighbor and played it. I hate to say it, but this is my least favorite Ratchet and Clank game, although it isn’t as bad as I make it sound. It tells the story of Ratchet in the world of an Annihalation Nation-like contest, in which the greatest heroes of the universe are being kidnapped and forced to play in this Gladiator-like tournament. It controls really well, as well as always, and the graphics and sound of course were fine, but what I had a problem with was the enviroments and some of the upgrades. The weapon system is a little more complicated than I’d like it to, but in Size Matters, it’s been fixed to my style. From what I played in this game, you’re playing a lot in really dark enviroments, like rainy cities or dark plains, but the arenas are a lot funner. (I know funner isn’t a word.) This game also seems more mature than the others, with the main villain having to be bleeped because of his lanquage, and it kind of felt like a different game in that area. Overall, I didn’t hate what I played of this game, I just think it could have been better.

Pulling Pranks on Old Man Jones!

If you’ve ever watched all of Pirates of the Carribean II:Dead Man’s Chest, you might be familiar with the scene in which Will goes in and sneakily steals the key from under Davy Jones’…..uh…..tentacle things. My acquantice and I were thinking of other things Will could have done:

  • Steal his hat-I wonder if he has a combover under there?
  • Rig an anvil to his chair so when he scoots back, it will fall on him.
  • Tie his tentacles in knots…..maybe that’s going too far.
  • Write letters on the keys on his organ.

You could do all these things, and more, and I’m sure Ol’ Man Jones will get a couple of snickers from the rest of the crew.
