News: New PlayStation 3 games in time for Xmas

Sony has released two new PlayStation 3 games just in time for the festival season.

Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time is a new family-oriented “intergalactic adventure” where players get to travel through space, twist time and wreak havoc.

The new game sees the hot-headed Lombax and his lovable robot pal return to PS3 in a chaotic adventure for youngsters (and young-minded grownups).

In the new game, Clank has gone missing and it’s down to you – as Ratchet – to rescue him. As well as mastering the art of bouncing bad guys with an array of outlandish weapons like the Groovitron Glove and the Omni-Soaker, you’ll also need to master the laws of time to travel backwards and forwards through the ages and find the clues that will solve the mystery of Clank’s disappearance.
