The good thing about movies is that you only have to watch them for roughly two hours. Conversely, the playing time of a videogame obviously equates to a longer experience, but that better be a damn satisfying one - one that’s worth the sixty bucks you just dropped. Ratatouille, the latest corporate shilling from Disney to bank on the far more amazing film, brings tired minigames and boring platforming to wow children in the HD-generation.
