Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty is an interesting summer diversion. Besides being a big surprise when it was revealed last month at E3, it also serves as a story bridge between two high-profile projects. Specifically, Quest for Booty picks up sometime after Clank's disappearance in Tools of Destruction and leads directly into the next game (currently scheduled for autumn 2009) that is conveniently announced at the end of the credits when you conquer the final boss. Insomniac's initial PSN-exclusive foray is also interesting in that it's the first Ratchet game I've played that left me feeling a little less than impressed when it was all over.
