PlayStation LifeStyle Writes, "Below is a list of the top downloaded items from the PlayStation Store for the week ending October 29th. This week again sees Call of Duty: World at War and Fallout 3 dominate the charts. The number one spot is occupied by the latest COD: WAW Map Pack for the third straight week. Fallout 3's add on content has been very popular over the past few weeks. Trine makes a strong debut at the number 2 spot and a few Rock Band tracks litter the top 20. Check back each week for the lastest and most popular downloads from the PlayStation Store."
The Ratchet & Clank "Future" sub-saga is developer Insomniac's "magnum opus", according to senior community manager James Stevenson.

Especially with games such as Left 4 Dead 2, which has recently come into the headlines with rumors that it will be heading to PS3 as well as Xbox 360 and PC. One [PlayStation 3] exclusive, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time however, won't be seeing green or white any time soon.

Insomniac Games has created some incredible games for the PlayStation consoles over the past 15 years. Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet and Clank, and Resistance are some of the well known franchises included in that line up, but it's a sin not to recognize the less famous titles the developer punched out, like Disruptor, as well. Insomniac recently announced, in fact, that they have sold an astonishing 32 million plus PlayStation exclusive games.
But while it's been known for quite some time that a new Ratchet game would be coming in 2009, details are still scarce on the title. Rumors have surfaced recently though that Insomniac is hard at work on the new title, and it may even make it's debut at the Game Developers Conference next month. Looking at Insomniac's track record, Resistance 2 was first announced in February 2008, so this rumor may hold some truth.
