Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal

Up Your Arsenal perfectly embodies the kind of lighthearted fun that gritty shooters of the following decade lost sight of.

Without its multiplayer, Pandora Tomorrow is a B-team-developed sequel that’s more of an expansion pack.

This installment is still worth playing. It just has a duller impact than the first title.

Ristar is not just a colourful and enjoyable example of its genre; it’s even a little ahead of its time.

Vectorman is pretty fucking rad. Unfortunately, it doesn’t actually play that well.

Ratchet & Clank shows that good game design is timeless.

This game is insane even by Treasure’s usual unbridled standards.

It’s not much of an overstatement to say that I despise traditional fighting games, but I’m slightly more amenable to Samurai Shodown.
