Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced the launch of Ratchet & Clank®: Size Matters on PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. Apparently a new Ratchet & Clank game is in high demand by PS2 owners. While ports from the PSP to the PS2 are not unheard of (namely GTA: vice city stories) it makes me wonder if the guys at Sony really want to just port their material around instead of coming up with new Intellectual Properties. If you refuse to buy a PS3 or a PSP and still need a new R&C game to scratch your itch then look for Ratchet & Clank®: Size Matters on PlayStation®2.
