Ratchet: Deadlock

Okay, now this game might be one to keep your eyes on. I've played Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando and the game after that which was Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. If you've never played either they're a lot of fun. Frankly I liked Going Commando better with regards to the length of the game. If you feel inclined to buy one, buy the Going Commando and maybe rent the UYA one to check out the multiplayer features (which are indeed fun).

These games are in vivid semi-destroyable environments. Eventually you'll get capacity to revisit other areas. Bolts are the currency, which appear pretty much everytime you smash something ...you can buy weapons and powerups, and ammo.

In this new game the weapons will work a bit differently than in previous versions. You will be able to combine weapons together to make more powerful/different weapons. For example you could combine a flamethrower with a shotgun to come up with a weapon with characteristics of both.

Premise in this game is that Ratchet and Clank have been kidnapped and put on a planet where they must take part in sort of an underground gladiator game/hunt. He needs to run for his life and of course fight his way through various levels, all the while this is being fed to tv viewers as a bizarre spectacle. He's hot, ratings soar.

The game is reported to have 85 levels and will be out in october.

Anyways...I'll definitely keep my eye on this new one, Deadlocked, and I'll check the reviews over at Game Rankings once it hits the shelves.
