Avalanche of Ratchet And Clank Future Movies Kills 12, Injures Hundreds



GameTrailers has uploaded a LOT of Ratchet And Clank Future: Tools of Destruction movies. I swear, if this game doesn't win an award for something, I will honestly be shocked.

I mean, I know it won't win "Game of The Year" stuff - Bungie's pulling aside the over-given Halo 2 awards to make room for Halo 3's upcoming ones (although I really do feel that Bioshock will be the best FPS this year, bar none) - but goddamn if this is not one of the prettiest and most personality-filled games I've seen. Watch the Ice Pirate Dance Off, catch the two pirates making snow angels. Look at the bug-squashing gameplay, and look at how natural the world seems.

By the way, the game's hitting October 23rd, 2007. Do a dance of joy.

And, yeah, I know: I posted to the game's page on GameTrailers and didn't embed the videos here, like other sites. It's easier this way, and you can watch stuff in HD as well. Who doesn't want that?!

Insomniac: Keeps Being Cooler And Cooler



Not only have these guys been voted one of the top ten tech companies to work for, not only do they share work with Naughty Dog - and have done so since the original PlayStation - and not only did they come up with both Spyro and Ratchet & Clank -- but now, you can learn about developing on PlayStation 3. Straight from Sony's ace in the hole.

Yeah, you. So long as you understand coding and programming and other jargon. Why? Because Insomniac has put up a new page, the logo for which is right above and explains it all. The link to the page is right here, so you lazy guys don't have to type in InsomniacGames.com and go hunting around for it. Don't say I don't do things for you.

For a guy like me, who loves researching things that I'll never be able to apply, this is awesome. And, oh yeah, other developers will be able to read it and go "oh. I get it now." A win-win in my books.
