Yet another gaming franchise has been plucked for the Hollywood treatment. Sony mascot-platforming fans, be on the lookout for *[Rachet & Clank: The Movie](http://www.ratchetandclankmovie.com/?ref=killscreen.com)*[ sometime in 2015](http://www.ratchetandclankmovie.com/?ref=killscreen.com).

Looks like [Nintendo](http://www.killscreendaily.com/articles/articles/nintendo-caught-generation-gap-what-means-your-weekend/?ref=killscreen.com) ain’t the only company with a back catalog deep enough to vex younger gamers. Rey Jimenez talked to Siliconera about [remastering *Duck Tales* for a new generation.](http://www.siliconera.com/2013/04/22/ducktales-remastered-tales-of-daring-remakes-and-grandpa-duck/?ref=killscreen.com) I weep for those who’ve yet to pogo-stick on the moon.

Who would win in [a fight between Nicola Tesla and Thomas Edison](http://www.muffinexpressgames.com/i-knew-my-lifes-work-was-finished-nikola-tesla/?ref=killscreen.com)? Play War *of the Currents* and find out.

Micromagic Systems has created the largest [“all-terrain operational hexapod” in the world](http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/19/tech/mantis-robot-monster/index.html?c=tech&ref=killscreen.com). They named it Mantis. It’s the stuff of our *Robocop-watching,* *Metal Gear Solid*\-playing nightmares.

[“Playing Tetris cures lazy eye!”](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-22245620?ref=killscreen.com) says a small team of Canadian researchers at McGill University. This brings a whole new meaning to videogame patches…

Pikachu officially joins the *Skylanders* craze when [*Pokemon Rumble U* releases today in Japan.](http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/wcnj/index.html?ref=killscreen.com) Collect physical figurines, place them on the Wii U GamePad, and wham, instant power-up. And the phrase “Gotta Catch ‘Em All” takes on another layer of sisyphean anxiety…

A professor at Drexel University turned downtown Philadelphia skyscraper into the [largest game of PONG ever](http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/04/selling-coding-and-playing-the-worlds-largest-videogame/?ref=killscreen.com).

And find out tonight at 8PM EST [who will grace the cover of Madden NFL’s 25th Anniversary.](http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/feature/madden25cover?ex%5Fcid=google&ref=killscreen.com) My vote goes to Barry Sanders, who broke enough ankles to fill a decade’s worth of curses. Now can EA give the NFLPA license back to Tecmo so we get the annualized football videogame the people want?

*Remember: Bend at the knees*.
