Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts -- specifically, the "Nuts & Bolts" part -- came as a surprise. But, really, who knows what to expect from an all-ages, mascot-driven adventure at the moment? Ratchet & Clank has the action angle covered, you can't very well compete directly with Super Mario Galaxy, and Rare's last foray into the genre -- Xbox 360 launch title Kameo: Elements of Power -- received a mixed reception. So what's left? With LittleBigPlanet on the horizon and user-generated content being pushed harder than ever to casual consumers, it's not really a surprise that Nuts & Bolts is taking a more...creative approach.
