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 collective shrug 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. First off, here's what Ratchet & Clank Future isn't: it's not a revolutionary ...

Right now, every other major game-news outlet on the planet is telling you about the trip they took down to developer Insomniac's headquarters in Burbank, Calif., last week to play Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, and how awesome the game is going to be. We took the same trip, but even though we liked what we saw, and even though we're confident Insomniac won't release anything less than a top-notch product, there were a few things that got under our skin. They got under a lot of ...   » Read Full Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction preview

Jul 13, 2007
Ratchet and Clank, the alien Lombax-and-robot duo whose adventures helped define the PS2 era, have gone through a lot of changes over the last few years. with Ratchet covering himself up with more and more armor (leading up to the ridiculous Master Chief outfit from Ratchet: Deadlocked), his weapons have gotten increasingly ridiculous and Clank has gone from pursuing a movie career to being shut out of the game entirely (again, see Deadlocked).

You wouldnt know it from the games sub-title, Tools of Destruction, but this is supposed to be a return to the series early days when platforming and exploring the colorful, cartoony world took precedence over blowing the hell outta stuff. Not that theres anything wrong with outright carnage when youre blessed with weapons as inventive as the ones Ratchet has been lucky enough to lay his hands ...   » Read Full Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction preview

Building on the bright and breezy world youve already seen in the trailer for Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, new screenshots have been released for their first foray onto the PS3, and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Equally stunning is the confirmation from developer Insomniac that the series will move away from Ratchets aggressive, combat orientated exploits in Up Your Arsenal and Gladiator to return to its platforming roots. The intention, according to Insomniac president Ted ...   » Read Full Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction preview
