Ratchet & Clank (series)

 Rachet & Clank   is a 3D platformer/shooter developed primarily by Insomniac Games, for the PS2, PS3, PSP, and PSVita.

Series description
The games take place in a science fiction setting and follow the adventures of Ratchet (an animalistic human-like alien known as a Lombax, who is a mechanic) and Clank (a diminutive, sentient robot) as they travel through the universe, saving it from evil forces, such as Dr. Nefarious, on a regular basis, with the help of the bumbling Captain Qwark. The series is noted for the inclusion of many exotic and unique, over the top weapons and devices, something that Insomniac Games also expanded into their other games like the Resistance series.
