We've all heard about the title before, and we've finally gotten the details on the game today. Starting off where Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction left off, Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty sees Ratchet trying to discover what exactly has happened to Clank. It has been announced that the game will be releasing soon on the Playstation Network at a price of $14.99.

"One of our sharp-eyed readers spotted an interesting listing on the ESRB website: a listing for Rachet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, which has been an open secret since we have found previous evidence suggesting its existence. All signs point to it being a PSN download, but it is still unclear whether this will just an add-on for Ratchet & Clank Future or it can be played as a stand-alone game. With this ESRB listing, it shouldn't be long before we hear official word from Insomniac."

With a successful Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Sony have announced that Ratchet and Clank will both be returning on on the console, however this time as a downloadable title from the Playstation Store. With no details other than the name (Translated name is "Ratchet & Clank: In Search of Treasure") be sure that more details will emerge shortly.

"When we reported on the PSN Release Schedule leak story and the possible truth behind it, the dates and content listed were still only speculation. After recent revelations, it’s now clear that the schedule is in fact true.

The leaked European document was always potentially credible due to the correct date given to Warhawk: Operation Broken Mirror. Thanks to our very own Kelsey Hart’s digging into the Ratchet: Quest for Booty item on the list, further concrete reliability was added to the..."

"Liquid's Hand
From: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Sony Skill: Revolver Blast

Why?: Anyone who played Metal Gear Solid remembers how badass Revolver Ocelot was as he shot it up with Snake and twirled his pistols. However, when Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty showed up, we saw Revolver beaten by the most unexpected of foes -- Liquid Snake's hand. If those five digits have that kind of power, they need to be in this game. You'd select the hand as your fighter and then attach it to..."

"Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has this week rolled the covers off what appears (at first glance) to be a rather tempting ‘Pick N Mix’ retail deal that will see UK consumers able to snaffle the PlayStation 3 and two games for a total price of £349.99 GBP. Image credit: MNgilen."

"Several prominent industry figures have recently been quoted in a Games Radar report as claiming that after a year of the PS3’s life cycle videogame developers are finally growing more accustomed to channelling the considerable capabilities hidden beneath its ominously rumbling hood."

"The critical popularity of flagship titles, mixed with continued fan attraction to established franchises and the introduction of valuable new IPs (intellectual properties), has also led to considerable commercial success. Software sales are on the rise to the tune of around $10.5 billion (through October) in the United States, while the UK gaming market has taken a total of around £1.52 billion during 2007."

"In the below video interview with two developers from Insomniac Games talk about creating Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. In the interview they are asked about things they had to cut from the game, which gives some interesting hints at Ratchet & Clank Future 2 about 2:30 minutes in.

To quote the answer: “There were certain things in the story, characters that I wanted to address more in this part of the story arch that we’re not going to address until a later part of the stor..."

Every week Insomniac puts up the 'Full Moon Show Podcast'. Where they talk about various game news.

"The Good
Shooting and platforming gameplay is fun Lots of different and useful weapons Beautiful, colorful visuals Tight controls.

The Bad
There's some good humor in it, but the story isn't very interesting, and the ending is a letdown So many different, often unnecessary gameplay mechanics that the game lacks an identity Difficulty is too easy and only the last hour or so is remotely challenging.

Over the course of five games the Ratchet & Clank franchise has crafted its ow..."

"It's no secret that the PS3's been hurting for good exclusives lately. Lair was a flaming wreck, and Warhawk and Heavenly Sword - while mostly excellent - were greeted with what seemed like a collectiveshrug from critics. A lot of heavy expectations are riding on the shoulders of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, and although the game can't possibly meet them all, it certainly doesn't disappoint.

The first video review for the highly anticipated and one the first true games for the Playstation 3, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction.

I must say they seemed pretty happy, which is a good indication about the game.

With so many games to be released next month, it's about time we got a list of them all to help us plan how much money we will be spending over the next month or so on games for the PS3. Here's a quick list, but you can find a more detailed description for the games at the source, a long with trailers for most of the games.

Playstation Magazine has already written a brief review on the Playstation 3 game, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. They've given it a hefty 93/100, saying that overall, it is "intense, beautiful, and accessible. A return to the series roots and a stellar game indeed,".

"Set to run at 60 fps, the title will support both 720p and 1080i. For all you Resistance fans, they promise that all of their upcoming PS3 titles will support 60 fps (and that means Resistance 2 as well). Back to Ratchet and Clank, the title will take up a whopping 22 GB of a 25 GB Blu-ray disc. Even without the localizations, the title couldn't fit on a DVD9."

"Fans of Ratchet & Clank are no stranger to weapon upgrades. The system featured in the upcoming Tools of Destruction takes the customizing features of Deadlocked, streamlines them and makes them more accessible. Just like previous Ratchet games, your weapons will automatically upgrade over time through experience points. However, those that want greater customization of their weapons can head to a weapons counter and access this upgrade grid (pictured, above).

Upgrades, such as more ammo, ..."

"One of the most anticipated demos PS3 owners have been waiting for, a Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction demo will be hitting the Playstation Store on October 4th. The demo will give gamers a taste of the opening level. Those who aren’t sure whether to pick the game up or not next month will soon be able to give it a free try in just a few weeks."

"You’ll recall the recent accusations of rendered footage being passed off as in-game content prior to the full appearance of Ratchet & Clank’s latest adventure (a la Killzone 2’s first unveiling at the old E3)? Well, it would certainly appear that, although Tools of Destruction does boast some Pixar-like narrative segues, its in-game aesthetics are also thoroughly stunning to behold.

Packed with all the trademark action and humour that has seen furry Ratchet and clunky Crank become firm fa..."

If your a fan of the series, you know you've been waiting for it for some time now. Well the time is now, as in the recent Podcast for Insomniac, the release date for the game has finally been revealed. The game will be releasing in the US, and Europe on 23rd October 2007.

Listen to the Podcast to hear not just the announcement, but music from the game, something that will have you wishing for more.

"I have the E3 demo of Ratchet and Clank Future right in my very own home; Sony made it available for journalists to download after the show. Since I didn't get the chance to play it at E3, I took it for a spin and found myself quite entertained.

This shouldn't really have been surprising considering that the previous games in the series were acclaimed. But I didn't get up to much Ratcheting on the PS2, although I did play all the Jak games. I'm not sure why: both involved fuzzy characters ..."

We have for you, not one, but two new boxshots for two upcoming games. First of the boxshot we have is for Lair, a game that has been shrouded by bad reviews and delays.

Second, and most probably the most awaited Imsomniac game, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Still to be given a rating, the colourful boxshot does bring back memories of previous installments of the game.

"Sony has confirmed to Game Informer that both Heavenly Sword and Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction will see demos on the PlayStation Network in the near future. So when exactly? Sony's Dave Karracker believes this week, and considering Europe is supposed to get Heavenly Sword on Thursday, we're betting we'll see the same here in the States."

"The dynamic duo set out on another adventure, this time taking on one of Ratchet's enemies who has tracked him down and wants him dead. The total game takes place in a bright, slick cartoon world that combines combat and platforming with cinematic camera angles and high production values associated with Disney/Pixar and similar animated films."

Take a look at the images, and be sure to comment on the images. A seventh NEW image is also available by going to the Screens section of the R&C Profile on Neoseeker.

"At its core, Tools of Destruction seems to play like any Ratchet and Clank video game, with Ratchet busting up bad guys, tackling humongous bosses and collecting bolts to upgrade weapons. At this early stage, the game's graphics remain its most impressive feature. Built from the ground up on PlayStation 3 and powered by an overhauled proprietary engine, the game showcases sprawling and exquisitely detailed environments populated by an assorted cast of characters, mountains, oceans, fortresses..."

Insomniac Games gave a live demonstration of their newest installment of the R&C series: Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction.

This performance revealed several new weapons, including the Piroblaster, the Visicopter, the Tornado Launcher, and, of course, the Groovitron.

The level played was Kerchu, a half-jungle, half city level that has been invaded by space pirates. Though the demonstration took over six minutes, Brian Algeier informed us that less than one third of the lev...
