Honestly, I don't give a damn about the bundle or this story. I'm just amazed that those damn Ratchet games are still being made. It's a colour-by-numbers series that has NEVER been good, but they always sell...why?...WHY?!

I have to disagree. I'm plating Tools of Destruction on the PS3 at the moment and thoroughly enjoying it. The game cleverly utilises the six axis, it's fun, has variety and isn't over in just a few hours.

I disagree with the 1st comment too. R&C was actually the 1st true 1080p game released on the PS3. Until then, and even now, many gaming companies are releasing games at 720p. I admit, it is more of a "friendly" game than COD4, UT3, or even Resistance (which was created by the same studio), but it is fun, entertaining, and packed with creative level designs.

Regarding the original article, Sony seems to be making a good choice in adding last years top sellers to a "starter pack". This may boost sales by providing a "fresh" look to the PS3 packaging. Motorstorm, though a good 1st gen PS3 game, should be replaced with something that pushes the graphic capabilities of the system. R&C and Uncharted are both true 1080p.

It's photoshoped. If you look closely at the box, the edges are odd and the proportions are off. I'll believe it when I see it.

Sir, you are a knob. Ratchet & Clank is one of the most charming, funny, playable and gorgeous series ever to hit any games system. The problem is blatantly at your end, with your brain. They are lovingly developed, have great graphics and controls (provided you switch from the default "3rd person" to the FPS-style "Lock-strafe" mode), reward repeated play (with bigger, brighter, brasher, inventive weaponry). and are as funny as a toy Story movie, if not more so.

I've played every PS2 R&C game, and the PS3 game, from start to finish and I loved every second of every title. It's not like I am a kid either; I am a 34-year-old male human. They satisfy my lust for destruction, and make me laugh, while constantly rocketing along at a constantly smooth frame rate. Plus the PS2 games kindly added online multiplayer, when they really did not need bother. They think of everything at Insomniac.

No, the problem is not with the game series, it is definitely with you. You blatantly have no soul. That, or you have never played a Ratchet game. Maybe you only played the first one, where the controls hampered the fun a tiny, tiny amount (at first). But there is absolutely no way in hell that you have any clue what you are talking about.

Great games, I hope for many, many more in the series. One ill-informed misguided whiner is not going to stop that.
