“While on a much needed vacation, Ratchet and Clank’s rest and relaxation time is suddenly cut short as they soon find themselves lured into a mysterious quest. Following the trail of a kidnapped girl, Ratchet and Clank rediscover a forgotten race of genius inventors known as the Technomites. They soon uncover a plot more dangerous than they could have imagined.”

I love the R&C series and am looking forward to this release.

Sierra Entertainment is releasing a flight combat slash racing game called M.A.C.H. (Modified Air Combat Heroes).

“In the year 2049, the governments of the world switched to unmanned aircraft for combat in an attempt to save lives. By doing so, they decommissioned thousands of jets and their fighter pilots, ironically destroying the livelihood of those they were trying to save. Years later, these planes appeared on the black market and were sold to the highest bidders. It wasn’t long before an underground emerged, featuring ex-fighter pilots, smugglers and wealthy hobbyists piloting the decommissioned aircraft. In a competition of fight and flight, these pilots heavily modify their jet fighters to outrace and out duel the competition to win fame, glory and fortune. Welcome to the world of M.A.C.H.”

Honestly, the premise sounds completely retarded. Creating roboplanes completely destroyed the Fighter Pilot Economic Model which forced the ex-pilots to prostitute their skills to third world, blackmarket, racing circuits? I’m trying but I don’t think I have enough rope to suspend that amount of disbelief.
