Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3)

What can I say about ratchet and clank? It is a fun game and this one goes back to the roots of the series. The story is about ratchet discovering the past of his people, since he is the only lombax left. The characters are familiar and good as well. The game play is fantastic, implementing a lot of the PS3’s items including SIXASIS control with the tornado launcher and freefalling and other stuff. This game looks about as good as it plays. I have to give Insomniac credit for putting out two games in 11 months from launch, which is impressive since they don’t suck, far from it actually. This is definitely worth the pick up and I highly recommend it.

The verdict - 9.5/10

Hannah Montana: Music Jam (DS)

Most people don’t expect a Hannah Montana game to be good, unless you are a 12 year old girl, then they think it’s the best thing ever. But this game is a turn around from the last one allowing you to play instruments in a guitar hero type situation, only you get drums and bass as well. This game does allow you to record your music you create, giving it added bonus. I found the story to be quite boring, maybe because it is me, but it lacked a lot of depth. Anyways, for the music features, I will give it a decent rating, but the story was lacking (surprise) so it will not be too high.

The verdict – 7.5/10
