AAA confirmed and it looks like Uncharted will also be an AAA. All before the consoles first birthday. And MGS4 looks like its set to be the third AAA in a few months time.

1.1 - Yeah this is good news

EGM is usually harsh on PS3 games and to see them liking this game is excellent news. One of the reviewers even said how he is looking forward to Uncharted due to the excellent animations and gameplay in this one.

ratchet and clank might be a system seller for serious fans it will sell ps3's but no where near the amount xbox sold. It will instantly attract kids and thats really the only way i can see it being a system seller. The game really comes at a nice time 4 the ps3 with the recent price drop plus the 40gb ps3 with spiderman blu ray could really push consoles it wudnt be ratchet sellin systems but probably more of a combination of all these things. True ratchet fans might pay the 400 bucks to get the ps3 but i doubt they will all do that but expect this game to sell well

"EGM is usually harsh on PS3 games and to see them liking this game is excellent news. One of the reviewers even said how he is looking forward to Uncharted due to the excellent animations and gameplay in this one."

EGM isn't harsh on PS3 games.. they are harsh on low quality games.. which the PS3 has generally provided plenty of. Resistance, Warhawk and Heavenly Sword got good reviews, but how can you expect them to give good reviews to games like Lair?

2.1 - I'll buy it never the less

To make a bad review of this would need some heavy convincing to it, not just personal taste IF the reviewer like platformers too. Not that I think that reviewer would be other than a fps fascist.

2.6 - I "NEVER" buy games based on reviews

I could care less what soem site or mag rates any game. I go by developer name, genre, game info (videos, pics, developer info, hands on reports from gamers, etc) and past success if it's a sequel.

R&C is a must buy no brainer for me because of the demo I played off of PSN. I thought I was done with the series until I played that demo.

I pre-ordered the PS3 as soon as I learned that Resistance was being made by Insomniac. At this point I purchase any game they make. They have never made a single bad game. Just like naughty dog.

2.8 - Will I buy it if it gets an average of 2 on the reviews?

Hell yes. Reviewers giving 10/10 for many of the games the past few months that really should only be 7-8 scores, and 6.5 to games that are really 8-9 just made me realize that the reviewers - little fat kiddies who really need to get in the sun sometime - are a bunch of twits.

I have all the previous titles in the R&C, and the Jak & Daxter series. These titles rock. The replay value is great. The game play is great. I could not care less what some FPS obsessed console loyalist fat couch potato thinks of this. I know the series. If they give it a 2 average - well - let them. I will get it regardless. The same goes for the Killzone, MGS and The Getaway games. Yeah - I really liked the first Killzone - no matter what others think of it.

@Baba1906

It could easily be a system seller to people that don't own a PS3 because all the previous games have been on the PS2/PSP so with 120million PS2's if they are a fan of the R&C series than, they could just go on faith that the PS3 version will be good without a demo. Anyway, I see uncharted as a bigger system seller, not right out of the gate, but when word gets out about it ;)

I wouldnt consider Ratchet & Clank to be a "system seller". It's more of an "incentive buy". It's one of those games that if you have a PS3, you'd be damn happy to be playing this game. But I dont see people buying PS3's just for that game.

I never considered playing it up until now. I initially thought that this was just some kids game but when I picked it up, I thought it was pretty fun. Uncharted was one of the PS3 games on my list but R&C has now made it up there was well. XD

16 - Ratchet & Clank - Tools of Destruction -- I have the game already Sat 10/20

All,
I just picked up a copy of Ratchet & Clank Tools of Destruction for PS3 this Saturday from a website reviewer who got an early copy. I played it over the weekend and it is fantastic. The levels are long, you probably already played the first level through demo. You get to upgrade your weapons, there are lots of new ones. Some puzzle solving, you get to play as Clank also. The graphics are on par with a Pixar movie.

The sheer amount of flying objects brings the cities to life. This is a real PS3 stunner and is FUN to play.

In the mission, you ship expldes, you crashland and later have to find 6 parts for your ship that crashes in beginning. You then use the ship to goto other planets.

The levels are vibrant, great physics, you almost feel you are playing in The Fifth Element movie in game, there is that much going on with traffic and a live city. The controls are tight, graphics are insance, and sound is very good.

I am more than half way through, finished Planet Mukow and moving onto Nundac Asteroid Ring. You can save at any time through Options Menu but it only saves the last major level point. The game is plain fun, and loooong!

Buy it, it is a system seller if you consider platformers sell consoles. It does show power of PS3 with physics, graphics and number of items on screen. I would give this 9.5/10. Much longer than Heavenly Sword - both are great games in their own right.

Great Game - Great Job Insomniac, lets see Resistance Fall of Man#2 Soon!!!!
