Platform titles are rare but these guys know exactly what they are doing. This is living. Great Great game.

[lawman1108]

Then you have a VERY sad life my friend.

[Real gamer 4 life]

I hope sony has learn that when you make great games people will buy it. I hope this soften the blow that there game industry took.

[AllanWakker]

Yep, Sony with 110+ million PS1s and 120+ million PS3s both of which have the combined greatest and most diverse console library of games ever created needs advice some random clown like you.

[SacT0wnF1n3st]

Great game does great things.

[lawman1108]

Ohhhh thats right, most of those people bought those systems when they were UNDER $200 bucks. Don't count on a built in fan base to buy a system that is over $300 dollars. Most people can not afford to do it or WONT do it for their kids. Oh, and having a few games to be able to play on that system might be nice incentive to buy it too. CLOWN

[Lionsguard]

and somehow deliver the fatality to HD-DVD so they can get their heads back on games. I hope this shows Sony that great games do matter.

[unlimited]

Uncharted Drakes Fortune will come out for the ps3 next month..expect high sales for that game as well.

[lawman1108]

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

[Bubble Buddy]

[eleaz14]

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I have it on pause right now...IT ROCKS!!!

EDIT: Haha...thank you, Grandma Death. Bubbles for you!

[harpua]

every living creature on Earth dies alone...

[Charlie2688]

Holy cow the Eye of Judgement did SUPER well, the theme decks and booster are sold out in amazon! O.O

[lawman1108]

It will sell out......That game is a turd

[scrillakiller]

wait mart said games dont sell on ps3.noob

[eleaz14]

So..., do you bother to read the title of this post?

[Premonition]

Ya eye of judgement looks to be a big hit, sold out 3 stores in my area and the rest have 3 or less copies, I think those will be gone over the weekend.

[PimpHandHappy]

after i buy COD4 The Orange Box (dont fuk it up EA) and Drakes

I might not get this game till Jan if games like Haze Assassins Creed Kane n Lynch Socom(if it comes im on it) turn out 2 be good

[goodganja]

Ratchet & Clank. Proven system seller, Proven AAA game.

Eye Of Judgment, Sleeper system seller.

It's solid games like Eye of Judgement that continues to innovate and give gamers a DIFFERENT perspective on how to play games is why Dominationstation 3 is poised to be on top in 08.

That's why Wii is doing so good. Nintendo innovated, gamers followed. Sony is innovating again, gamers sucking up PS3's. XBox, same ol tried and true FPS garbage formula that ppl fall for.

P L A Y B 3 Y O N D

[Topshelfcheese]

Its not a proven system seller yet, it is a AAA game, i can agree with that.

haha, man fanboy's are all dumb, you can't disagree with something you can't prove, and as of yet you can't prove the game is a system seller. You all need to open your eyes and grow up. This goes out to fanbabies of both consoles.

[Tranz]

WOW ON TOP OF PS3 CHARTS?! NO WAY! like there are soo many games out right now worth getting!

[datoejama]

If it could not even make 1 on PS3 charts then there would be no hope. Maybe this will mean it will sell well in the "All Systems Charts" given by NPD

[ceedubya9]

Its one of the best, if not the best, games on the PS3. Good game to grab if you own a PS3.

[Padre]

Who is the animal who said system seller? AAA? LOL. Look at metacritic PStard, the average score of this game is below 90, deal with it.

[Chillbilly]

O RLY?
http://www.metacritic.com/g...

[pwnt]

[Topshelfcheese]

It is currently sitting at 90% but anyway, who says over 90% = AAA there are many other defenifition for what makes a game AAA, so I guess in your opinion its based on average score.

Here's another insight to it: http://www.deffmute.com/blo...

There are plenty of idea's for what makes a game AAA, and I've played my fair share of 80-89% average games that I would completely consider to be AAA titles.

[spammy_nooo]

Who couldn't see this happening? Even I'm getting it today, and i've never played a Ratchet game before and I don't play many platformers. The demo hooked me, what can I say?

[chrisin3]

the average is actually at 90. Check again, it changed from yesterday.

[fenderputty]

sure are hoping that game drops below the 90's huh? Pretty sad if think about it. I don't wish that for any game on their system. O well ...

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

is my GOTY.

i can`t stop playing it.

such a CRISP CRISP game.

[Padre]

It's going to change very soon dude, remember the 8/10 from EDGE? That's going to make the avg. dicrease by at least 2 points.

[Topshelfcheese]

wow, you must of flunked out of school if you think an 8/10 will drop a 25 review average down 2 points, try around .2

[damnwrx]

I'm enjoying it!

[chrisin3]

But there are other reviews that haven't been posted, and they may very well be in the 90 range. It's really hard to tell at this point, but there have been enough 90+ reviews to consider this a great game no matter how you spin metacritic or whatever.

[MK_Red]

Superb news. Hope Ratchet makes it to number one of all systems.It really deserves it.

[Padre]

The debut of Lair was good too, but the next month the game was not even in the top 50. This could happen with R&C.

[remix]

AND they mest up on game revolutions score. this will bring it to like 94.

just because ps3 has 2 tripple AAA titles in 1 year doesnt mean you have to angry since 360 only had 1.
and since most reviewers think its tripple AAA, it mostly likely is. get over it, you arguments of no tripple AAA TITLES ARE DONE. YOUR FANBOYISM EXCEEDS THE MART. at least he admits rachet is tripple AAA.

[fury]

What are you trying to achieve with you senseless crap posts? Enjoy the game...jeez

[gerrard]

Wrong! You cant really compare the two. Ratchet and Clank is a proven franchise that has got critics gagging (except GameSpot apparently)where as Liar is a new type of genre which is no where near as popular as this series and has been slammed by a lot of critics on a game not a lot of people have heard of or played before.

[tikku]

dude... stop crying

you only make yourself look foolish in front of the class

:-)

[MrSwede]

I was hoping for the game to have arrived today from videogamesplus.ca but no...Living in Europe has its benefits but today I feel like "going west":). Well, at least I got the demo...

[Meus Renaissance]

Padre wants a PS3.

[fury]

+bubbles for you

[tk]

What the hell is wrong with you? Are you playing games or just watching metacritic and playing horse race with it?

R&C is a great series. The latest one is a great game. The sites giving it low scores - well - even XB360 fans are a bit taken with the clear bias that is showing on these sites.

[kevoncox]

Any figures on this....
It seems kinda stupid to be cheering something on when you don't knwo how much it sold...

Look Eye of beholder sold well.

1st place could be 15K
2nd place could be 10K copies

Lets wait for the numbers.

[Topshelfcheese]

Past ratchet games sold on average 2-3million units each, this probably wont sell that many, but I would assume it will hit 1 million units over the holiday. The only reason I think it wont sell more is the install base it was way larger for PS2 as you know and frankly i doubt 3 million of the 4-5million PS3 owners are going to buy it, but me I love the game;)

[DarkSniper]

I can count on one hand on how many platformers are on 360. Wait, you dont need any hands to count cause there isnt any.

$niper

[sicknnyc]

I must admit I have never played Rachet games before this is my first and ...WOW for cartoon-ish game the Presentation is Crazy a lot of love went into this game. and easily deserves a 9.5

[Lex Luthor]

well duhhhhh, what else is there to play?

[Fezthebest]

by your comment im guessing there isn't any games to play on the 360 or already bored of them, BUT on the PS3 there are tons of games that we play

[xg-ei8ht]

Halo 3 got 9.4 based on 74 reviews/

R&C has got 9.0 based on 25 reviews.

So it all depends on how many review the game.

[Trebius]

There isnt a bad thing I can say about Ratchet and Clank. Apparently there were too many extra gadgets and options for Gamespot's reviewer to handle and he underscored it...but I think it adds flavor to the game instead of being the regular typical platform game. Kudos to Insomniac for bringing one of the first AAA games to the console.

[sandhawk]

see wat sony can do over time it kiss the balls of the 360

(time eill crown the king)(ps3)DUH

[DeZimatoR]

It deserves all the sales it can get!

[rowdy 1]

was a dissapointment. This Ratchet game is the shiznit. The graphics, graphics, graphics and the gameplay gameplay gampplay. NIce Game.

[TheExecutive]

Got this game yesterday, its a solid game. 9.3/10. Great action, great platforming, great breath of fresh air.

[arcadegoal]

FOR sure every ps3 owner will have a smile on their face playing this the best graphics ive ever seen on any console.got to go now play some more...

[ROCCOZILLA]

GO GET THIS ONE.ITS LIKE YOUR IN A MOVIE.SIMPLY AWSUM.

[eleaz14]

I can't wait to play this game :)
