Ratchet and Clank are back and on a mission to save the future!! Concluding the events that began in Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty, R&C: A Crack in Time will answer some of the franchise fans' biggest questions. After discovering that lovable robot Clank’s disappearance was engineered by Dr. Nefarious, the Wrench-swinging Ratchet races to save his best friend. Along the way, both will finally uncover the hidden truth behind their origins, and discover their ultimate destinies. As the duo come closer to reuniting, they'll have to ask themselves the biggest question of all: Do Ratchet and Clank's destinies lie with each other? Or is it finally time for the universe’s greatest duo to separate for good?

Let me tell you what I like about Insomniac games: Since the early days of Spyro the Dragon, the studio has always managed to make its games both accessible and rewarding. Even the comparatively heavy Resistance series is friendly to newcomers, while providing a notable challenge to more serious players and obsessive completists. This is not as easy as it sounds, not by a long shot; it requires careful balance and pacing, plopping progressively more difficult challenges in front of the player while keeping a constant stream of upgrades and collectibles flowing. But the Ratchet & Clank series has managed to consistently deliver the goods, pumping out one wholly entertaining adventure after another.
Still, it's understandable that the designers tinker with the formula from game to game. Some entries in the series focus more on platforming and exploration, for example, while others place a much heavier emphasis on gunplay. For A Crack in Time, the needle swings back toward the "gunplay" end of the spectrum, perhaps to deliberately compensate for the more platform-heavy adventures of Tools of Destruction and its downloadable mini-sequel, Quest for Booty.

A new video popped up on the PlayStation Blog today that highlights space exploration in Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time. In the video, Insomniac's creative director Brian Allgeier explains how space-faring will not only provide side-missions and additional enemies to fight, but will also lead to upgrades for your ship and your arsenal.
While exploring, you're also able to land on small, spherical moons that act like mini platforming challenge stages (ala Mario Galaxy's mini planets). Other notable add-ons in this mode are pirate radio stations (similar to Captain Slag and Rusty Pete's previous disc jockeying), and a final "uber-boss" that aims to challenge long-time fans. A Crack in Time is scheduled for release this fall on the PlayStation 3. Read More »

The titular Lombax ("bipedal cat-thing" for layfolk) Ratchet returns for this ninth chapter in Sony's wildly popular platformer series. It concludes the story started in 2007's Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and last year's Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, effectively capping off a tidy trilogy. Read More »
