The latest Ratchet & Clank game is wearing a Disney costume More »
When I think of Jak & Daxter I don’t think of flight combat. But if that’s going to be 40% of the new game, so be it. It’s fun. More »
Looks like Sony will be bringing former PSP exclusive Secret Agent Clank to the PlayStation 2, one those 70 games coming to the last-gen PlayStation, according to a new listing from GameFly.
The Official PlayStation Blog takes us behind the scenes at the gala casino night event held last week in honour of the impending release of Ratchet’s robot buddy’s first solo adventure, Secret Agent Clank for the PSP. Members of the San Francisco-based media were shown a brief presentation on the game and allowed to get their paws on it before retring to the gambling tables for some good old-fashioned James Bond style blackjack action. While looking at photos of the gaming press get drunk and play cards is fascinating and all, the big news here is the release date for the game. Clank strikes out on his own on June 17th, and judging by the series’ first foray onto the PSP, we’re more than likely in for a hell of a good time, even if it is mostly Lombax free.

It looks like High Impact Games’ portable take on the Ratchet & Clank series may be the latest PSP game to get a PlayStation 2 port. A listing for Ratchet & Clank Size Matters for the PS2 was uncovered by the eagle eyed staff at Joystiq today, one which points to the game shipping for the console February of next year. It’s listed at $US 29.99, ten dollars cheaper than the PSP original.
While we don’t have official word yet—we’re waiting to hear back from SCEA—it certainly wouldn’t surprise us to see yet another PSP game ported to the PS2. With one-time exclusive PSP titles such as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Twisted Metal: Head On, Tokobot and (allegedly) Silent Hill Origins making the jump, it might just file under fiscally sensible.

Just as Ratchet from the Ratchet & Clank series of PlayStation games was given a spotlight role in Ratchet Deadlocked, it appears his robotic sidekick will be on the receiving end of his own spin-off. One of the surprising and unannounced titles making an appearance at the Sony media event in Tokyo this evening was Secret Agent Clank, a PSP game featuring the fictional adventures of the bot who’s half-backpack, half-gadget stuffed mystery.
The game was rumoured to be in development at High Impact Games—creator of Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters for the PSP—earlier this year. While we don’t have any official screens of the game yet, we expect it will be on the TGS show floor and hope to get some hands-on time with it. More »
