DLC - August 21st

Blah blah blah it's Thursday. Wait, it's actually Friday now, but ... well you know what I mean. Time to do an update, but this update does in fact get in my way of enjoying Ratchet & Clank Quest for Booty right now. So let's make this quick.

I haven't touched Hot Shots in at least 4 months, but after I'm "done" with Ratchet I'm going to download Kratos and hit the links! A lot of people wondered why Kratos in place of somebody like Sackboy or any host of other popular PS3 characters but I'm going to enjoy this one! Hot Shots Golf Out Of Bounds Kratos Character for $1.99.

Demos
Demos that I probably won't get to play until I've beat Ratchet a few times through, and of course I still haven't touched the demos from the week that PJE released. So many games to play and so few hours in the day!

Games
Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty seems to review consistently in the 7's but so far it's a ton of fun. Lots of great platforming, simple but well though out puzzles. The weapons are limited and I really would have liked a chance to bring my fully leveled weapons from Tools of Destruction into this game as well. It's a direct continuance of Tools so why not have that option? Perhaps it'll let me do that in the hard setting. Honestly if you're a fan of Ratchet or have even played half of the previous games you should stop reading this immediately and go spend the $15.

Videos
There hasn't been much in the way of movie trailers lately, and honestly I would have liked some more Leipzig videos than these, but what can you do. I would have really liked to see the new Bluetooth keypad in action.

Themes
Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty Theme is pretty much the same as the original Ratchet theme with a new background and a slightly different icon for Trophies. Wasn't until today that I checked out the original theme since the firmware v2.40+ update. Turns out it always had a Trophy icon built in.

inFamous Theme them has a great background but the theme isn't that special really. No sounds to speak of, the icons don't appear to have any connection to the game really and honestly this could have just been a wallpaper.

Well that's all I'm going for tonight. Time to get back to Ratchet and get out of this town. One review I read for the game stated that the first two levels of the game were full of win, and the second two not so much. Well so far it's awesome.
