Learn more about Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters. (Flash demo) SynopsisEvil never rests, and neither do Ratchet and Clank in Size Matters. Remastered for the PlayStation 2 console, Size Matters continues the weapon-laden, planet-hopping tradition of the series. Ratchet and Clank's much-deserved vacation comes to a halt when they attempt to rescue a kidnapped girl. As always, one kind act turns into an epic adventure. This time they discover a forgotten race called the Technomites as they uncover the most dangerous plot ever. Will this duo once again save us all from destruction?Ratchet and Clank continue to travel to new worlds, but there's one place Ratchet thought he'd never see — the inside of Clank's head. Ratchet shrinks himself to miniscule proportions, opening up a universe of new locations before his eyes. They'll also explore the mysterious territories of the Technomites. During battle, you can always rely on Ratchet's impressive arsenal of weapons and gadgetry to get out of trouble. Why would you want it any other way?

Graphics were terrible
on June 5, 2008
Posted by: wilks
The graphics were so bad, I couldn't finish playing the first level. The animation with weapons was far from smooth, so it was difficult to feel like you knew what you were doing. (I've played all the other Ratchet titles.)
I was very disappointed in this "remastered" version of the psp title. It looked more like PS1 quality.

Is this the best Hollywood can do?
on May 3, 2008
Posted by: wilks
Almost every "romantic comedy" movie hollywood produces involves the same tiring formula.
Girl accidentally falls in love with guy, just when things are going perfect, the guy accidentally screws up and the girl is broken hearted.
Every single movie I get drug into with my girlfriend follows this formula based on drama coming from lack of communication.
I'm tired of it.
So she's always in other people's weddings because she can't find a way to communicate with men. Big deal.
There's just nothing mentally interesting about this movie.
If you want to watch a mind numbing nothing-new feel good movie, this one will work. But please don't make your boyfriend/husband suffer through this.
What's great about it: Has some cute moments
What's not so great: Annoying characters, follows the same old formula
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good movie
on May 2, 2008
Posted by: wilks
Pretty good movie, but the trailer is misleading.
At first, the movie seems pretty anti climatic, and dry (no music). The end will confuse you if you don't understand what the movie is about. There are certain events that seem major to the storyline that are not really focused on, which irritated me, until I started to see what was really being told.
The story really isn't about the guy that finds 2 million in drug money, or about the bad guys trying to find him. The story is about a small town sheriff coming to grips with a new type of criminal that the world is producing.
Keep that in mind when watching the movie, and the end will make more sense.
There are a lot of gory scenes.
Not a movie for kids, not a movie for someone looking for an action flick, pretty deep for movies of today's standard.
What's great about it: solid performance on acting, excellent use of surround sount
What's not so great: No movie soundtrack can make it dry and boring. Not your typical formula for a movie

More of the same from Insomniac
on April 29, 2008
Posted by: wilks
I'm not all the way through the game yet, but I was amazed at the detail that was put into it. Some of the effects are pretty cool, and the game is on par with its predecessors. (Haven't played RC: Size Matters yet)
The game has something new to the series (again, haven't played size matters.) Items can now be used. My favorite so far is the Disco ball, which paralyzes enemies in a hypnotic dance while you pound away on them. Quite funny.
I am a little disappointed in the number of bugs I found so far. I've found numerous ways to get ratchet "stuck" in a immobile freefall position between boxes or in a corner.
This game seems appropriate for most ages, for those that are curious.
What's great about it: Extraordinary detail, as always creative weapons
What's not so great: a little buggy

Pretty good; classic rock and hard rock revisited
on April 24, 2008
Posted by: wilks
Overall, the CD is pretty enjoyable to listen to. It's good workout, handyman, party, backyard bbq music.
My pro is also a con: it sounds a bit like Buckcherry, if you like that kind of music. I say that's a con because it's not a completely unique sound.
It's definitely a hidden gem though, well worth the average price of a CD.

Decent Action Flick
on April 23, 2008
Posted by: wilks
Pretty good movie, especially if watching in a decent home theater.
It's not extremely gorey for an action flick, so my girlfriend was able to watch it with me. (She agreed that it was pretty good.)

Good character development, good story, I enjoyed sitting through this from start to finish.
My only complaint is that you can't really tell Christian Bale is playing a peg-legged man.
What's great about it: Good acting; excellent sound mixing
What's not so great: It's a remake
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good CD: Listen to it without expectations
on April 20, 2008
Posted by: wilks
Like all tool CDs, I had to listen to this one quite a bit before it grew on me.
It's not a headbanging thrashing album like they produced when they were a younger band. No, expect more of a Euro
"experience" based type of CD, that will take you through a fountain of emotions and feelings.
Best experienced with a nice set of headphones and a quiet room.
The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is I don't think it was quite as well composed as lateralus.

What's great about it: Can listen to it all the way through; hear something new each time
What's not so great: a little heavy on non-musical tracks
