20 Years of Ratchet and Clank (Feat. Smileyarriaga & Richard Arriaga)

20 Years of Ratchet and Clank (Feat. Smileyarriaga & Richard Arriaga)

This week on My Little Underground is all about the 20th year of a very popular video game series in the Arriaga household, Ratchet and Clank! I invited my two younger brothers, Richard Arriaga and Smileyarriaga to share their thoughts on the famous Playstation Action Adventure platform game. What’s interesting about Ratchet and Clank is that it also creatively combines RPG, shooter, and puzzle game elements which provides a very unique gameplay experience. Listen to us have a big talk on the original Playstation 2 trilogy (including the spin off, Deadlocked) and the Playstation 3 Future series. Ratchet and Clank is a must have for Playstation 2 and 3 owners.
