Ratchet: Deadlocked

May 12th, 2010 · Comments Off

Last night I finished playing Ratchet Deadlocked for the PS2. From the reviews I read before buying the game, I knew that it was the worst of the Ratchet & Clank series… and I can agree that from what I’ve played that holds true. It’s a fine game, really, it’s just not up to where [...]
