I’ve been waiting ages to play the new instalment in the Ratchet and Clank franchise ever since I saw the Crack In Time teaser trailer and got the chance to play the demo. I’ve now finally got my wish and ‘Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time‘ was well...

DaveRatchet and Clank hold a special place in our household: the combination of great characters, fantastic writing, clever puzzles and top-notch platforming make the series the only games ever made that my casual gaming wife and I both play. The tale...

Time is a curious thing. It gives and it takes, it can be made and it can be given. It's as certain as the promise of summer, and nostalgia is the by-product of its passing. But perhaps most fortunately for this otherwise-waffling introduction, time -...

Few gaming franchises have maintained the consistent high quality found in Insomniac's Ratchet & Clank series of action platformers. From Ratchet & Clank's Playstation 2 debut to last year's short, but oh-so sweet downloadable continuation in Quest for Booty, the lombax/robot duo has set some well-earned high standards for other third person action hybrids to follow. A Crack in Time proudly continues this tradition with a slew of innovative new additions to the game's tried and true core for...

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time concludes the future trilogy of the titular Sony mascots. Created by Insomniac, the game runs on the developer’s latest self-titled engine – but maybe if you’re reading this review, you could care less about that...
Endearing heroes, entertaining villains and comical cameos. In short, everything needed to make this a cheerful and charming conclusion to the trilogy. User-friendly controls are introduced and explained with patience and care. Looks great.
Again. The space travel component of the game doesn’t add anything except frustrations: Space is a distracting sandbox in what should be a linear platformer. Young’uns might need a bit of help with some of the puzzles presented to Clank.

The Ratchet & Clank series has always hovered on the edge of quality, held back by a few issues and a sense of familiarity that has always stopped the series short of being truly brilliant (except for Ratchet: Gladiator, of course, which was rubbish)...

Nice variety; satisfying story and ending; clever puzzles; it's absolutely gorgeous.
A bit heavy on combat for my taste; some lackluster weapons; some irritating camera issues.
