Ratchet and Clank have been busting up intergalactic goons for seven years. A Crack in Time is the ninth franchise title, and the final piece of the Future story arc. With that kind of history, one might expect the formula to become a bit stale. Not so, in fact. Even in its advanced age, the [...]

After a nightmarish flight in which the pilot circled a silo in Des Moines, Iowa, for 10 hours, I am finally able to report from Topeka, site of the inaugural PAX Midwest. Originally, I had planned to stop by the Ward-Meade Park Botanical Gardens and the Combat Air Museum at Forbes Field, but had to [...]

My doctor says I have an unhealthy obsession with Ratchet & Clank. According to him, it’s considered uncouth to strap a cat to your head, and write-in Lombax for every presidential race. Personally, I think he’s full of shit, and simply wants to schedule regular appointments so he can mine my bank account. He also [...]

With the release of A Crack in Time looming on the horizon, I thought that I would take the opportunity to delve into the Ratchet & Clank lore, and highlight my favorite weapons from the galactic duo’s locker.

I ceased actively collecting action figures many years ago. It is a surprisingly expensive hobby that doesn’t really provide any benefits. That is, unless you enjoy staring at packaged pieces of plastic. Personally, I got sick of my “Star Wars: Episode I” toys a long time ago. Plus, most chicks don’t dig action figures. According [...]

Insomniac Games’ Burbank office is without doubt one of my favorite development studios in the gaming industry. If the California-based team pops a game out, I usually purchase it without question. I would probably buy an Insomniac-developed picnic simulation. Seriously.
Over the years, the company has received numerous accolades for its “Resistance” and “Ratchet & Clank” [...]

“Resistance 2″ received a lot of pre-release hype. The highly-anticipated sequel was quickly labeled a paramount exclusive in the PlayStation 3’s 2008 lineup. Though the game has received high praise from most critics, some in the gaming press have voiced their displeasure with the single-player campaign. Garnett Lee unleashed a passionate rant [...]

It’s easy to think of numerous reasons why Resistance 2 is a great title; 60 player multiplayer, 8 person co-op, a solid single player campaign and oodles of over-the-top violence (hello V7 Splicer, I love you). On the flip side, it’s also easy to think of a number of reasons [...]

Have no fear, Episode 27 of SG-Blu will soon be here. What did we discuss you may ask?  We might have discussed changes in the PS2 and PSN certification process, the “big deal” of Flash 9 support coming to the PS3’s browser and how the browser compares to a major PC browser. We may [...]

The Blu Show ran a contest a while back asking folks to write and submit Resistance themed limericks for a chance to win some Resistance Retribution swag. We had a fun run with the contest and had some really good entries (actually, we ended up doubling up and awarding prizes to two entries because [...]

I wasn’t overly impressed with “Resistance: Fall of Man.” That is not to say that I didn’t enjoy the game. It was extremely polished and loads of fun. However, I found the story to be a bit lacking. I never really felt a connection to the protagonist, Nathan Hale, because the story [...]
