So about an hour ago I booted up my PS3 for the first time in... fuck knows to be honest, definitely over a year though, lol. I decided to go onto the PlayStation Store and buy Ratchet & Clank Nexus digitally because new copies are ridiculously overpriced. The last time I checked the store it was £23.99 which was fine, since it also comes with Quest For Booty, another game I've not got, so yay right?

... Apparently since I last checked the price has only gone and dropped down to £10.99, and it STILL comes with Quest For Booty! :D

Naturally I bought it as soon as I saw the price was so low now, lol. However I won't be playing the game just yet, I've decided I want to play from the start of the Future trilogy, since my history with them is basically... I got about halfway through Tools of Destruction before moving onto other games (That's when the backlog began pretty much), and I bought A Crack in Time but never actually played it, lol. There we go, that's my history right there, lol. So now I've got a four game trilogy to play through, yay! (Quest For Booty still counts, right? Doesn't it take place between ToD and ACiT?)

Aaaaanyways, so I popped Tools of Destruction in ready for whenever I sit down to play it properly, but thought I'd have a quick 5-10 minutes just to familiarise myself with it, and wow y'know what? For a 14 year old game it still looks and runs pretty fucking good lol, I was surprised with how well it held up, since in my head I was expecting it to look pretty much how the PS2 Ratchet games look now. The camera can be a pain in the arse though, I mean it's fine but it moves slower when looking up and down than it does when you're looking left and right, which bugs me a little bit lol... oh well, excited to play through it again and see if I can remember any of the story that I got up to as I'm doing so lol.

TL;DR I bought an old game that came with an older game bundled, then played a little bit of an even older game.

All of the Ratchet and Clank games have held up well in terms of gameplay and sheer fun factor. Cannot recommend them enough! 

A Crack in Time is probably my favourite in the series, with Up Your Arsenal and Going Commando in close 2nd and 3rd, as well as  Tools of Destruction as 4th. so two of your games are in my faves list, where the other two (Nexus and Booty) are both enjoyable games that are pretty short but fun. None of them are in any way bad or poor. I do put the 2016 remake in as my #5, but most people agree you can skip it. 

Great Series overall.
