Daxter

It took awhile, but in 2006 the perennial second thought branched out into his own game, appropriately enough on a handheld console. Reverting to something closer to the original feel of Jak and Daxter, the sidekick's solo adventure covers the time missing from Jak II, and the main storyline is interspersed with dream sequences parodying popular movies, such as The Matrix and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

It's been nearly two years since Daxter saw his best buddy Jak get dragged off by the Krimzon Guard, and he's had absolutely no luck in turning up so much as a single greeny-blond hair. That doesn't stop him from relating wild tales of his adventures to disbelieving audiences, however. When Osmo of the Kritter Ridder Extermination Company overhears, he offers Daxter a job in his business. Armed with an oversized, electric flyswatter and a backpack of bug spray, Daxter takes on the legions of Metal Head insects infiltrating Haven City and, along the way, stumbles over his missing friend.

He's short, he's fuzzy, he's armed and dangerous
This could be a problem
Those are some big bugs...
...but that's a big bug swatter
