Ratchet and Clank

Recently a new video game that I absolutely love was released. It's called: Ratchet and Clank: All 4 one. Usually it is Dr. Nefarious's job to be evil, but in this one he does a little good. my parents have been putting the blame on me for the game getting there late (but they were only just joking) My parents first discovered this game when they went to go buy a different video game that was similar in name. They couldn't remember the name of the other game (neither can I for that matter) and thought that Ratchet and Clank was the one. When my step dad came home with it and my mom informed him that it was in fact, the wrong game. But they played it anyway, and discovered that it was better than the other one they wanted anyway. There are 10 games in the series, and probably 7 of them are the main story. This isn't really a children’s game, but I played it when I was little.

The first game in the series that came out was called: Ratchet and Clank - "A worldwide favorite with consumers, Ratchet & Clank is best known for its overpowered weapons, ingenious gadgets, intergalactic exploration, and outrageous humor. At the heart of this multi-million unit selling action-adventure saga are its two main characters: Ratchet, an impulsive wrench-wielding mechanic, who is the last Lombax in the galaxy, and Clank, his logical and witty robotic partner. With the help of self-proclaimed "hero" Captain Qwark, Ratchet and Clank have defeated most of the universe's most vile villains including their latest nemesis, the diabolical Dr. Nefarious." That is the description of the game from www.ratchetandclank.com. When this came out in 2002, I watched my parents play it, and it looked like so much fun! So I decided to start my own game; and what do ya know, I loved it. Ratchet is the last of his species, and spends his time fixing his ship. One day a ship crashed onto the planet ratchet lives on, and he goes to explore the crash site and finds a robot, who then becomes his sidekick - clank.

The next game that came out was Ratchet and Clank: Going commando
"From the creators of the critically acclaimed smash hit Ratchet & Clank, Insomniac Games, comes the next installment of the most exciting sci-fi action adventure ever. Ratchet & Clank are back, and they're going commando! Featuring more than 50 of the coolest weapons and gadgets ever imagined, the more stuff you blow up, the stronger Ratchet gets and the bigger and badder the weapons you'll have! Plus, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando features all-new side challenges; destroy hordes of enemies in gladiator arenas, upgrade your ship and pick off enemies in space combat and leave competitors to eat your dust in hi-speed challenge...You up for it?!" Many Hastings (Alex Hastings, Brian Hastings, and Peter Hastings) worked to create this game. The Hastings' jobs were at Insomniac Games. When this game came out in 2003 I also loved it. I still replay it all the time.

The third game in the series was Ratchet and Clank: Up your Arsenal
It is mainly about the weapons, and you fight a lot in it. (I don't know that much about this one, but its fun!)
Ratchets' weapons are increased in this game, and they upgrade. This game is also the first multi-player game in the series. Clanks' gadgets are also upgraded, with his flying capabilities, and Ratchets' gadgets too.

The fourth game is Ratchet and Clank: Deadlocked
"Ratchet and Clank are captured while investigating the disappearance of several famous heroes. Our duo discover that the missing heroes (including themselves) have been abducted by a deranged media mogul, who intends to use them as contestants on an underground reality combat show called "DeadZone." To keep himself and his friends alive, Ratchet will have to participate in the games and keep driving up the show's rating with victories. Will our hero break free and take down the evil media mogul? Stay tuned...." In this one ratchet is captured while looking into missing heroes, and he finds out that his hero that he looked up to, is a fake. Clank is his (Ratchet's) kind of...... I guess you could say assistant, while Ratchet is trying to stay alive clank is trying to make it so that they can escape.
