1UP Previews Secret Agent Clank

1UP writes: "Six long years after Insomniac's Lombax-and-robot duo first rocketed to platforming superstardom, beloved sidekick Clank finally lands his own headlining role in Secret Agent Clank. So what if he's only been thrust into the spotlight because his furry partner has landed in the slammer? Clank's deadpan delivery and rapier wit have always overshadowed Ratchet's bland brand of heroism, so this PSP outing should vault the lovable robot out of his perpetual second-banana status. And the Clank you're controlling here -- clad in the tuxedo-style paint job from his popular Holovision serial Secret Agent Clank -- now has an arsenal befitting a true leading man.

Fundamentally, the game plays like the previous Ratchet titles, blending melee combat (the vicious martial art of Clank Fu) with a variety of zany, upgradeable firearms (including a ray that transforms foes into pigs). Despite the initially familiar trappings, Secret Agent Clank breaks from the franchise's mold by integrating a hefty amount of spy-centric gameplay. Like a tiny metallic James Bond, Clank employs plenty of wondrous toys: Our brief demo featured a homing razor bowtie, rocket boots, and an ink-squirting pen perfectly suited for disabling laser security systems".

Nothing of interest for me.

Night in the Woods is a lovely little indie graphic adventure. Alec Holowka conceptualised the game, the story and characters and made the beautiful music and was effectively murdered by the woke video game journalists who dog piled on top of him following false allegations.

This is one of the reasons I can’t stand most of these people, because they have no understanding of journalistic ethics which led to this poor man taking his own life.

northpaws242d ago

Yes, it looks very creative and clean looking as well.

TheNamelessOne242d ago (Edited 242d ago )

Under Water and Chernobylite are great gets. I also really enjoyed Road 96.

Einhander1972242d ago

Yea, this is actually a really good month.

These are games that are well regarded and have been highly praised.

I haven't played Road 96, but it seems like something i'd enjoy, I'm definitely going to give it a try.

Petebloodyonion242d ago

For once it's a great month for Premium users:
Mr Mosquito is an hidden gem from the Ps2 era
Agent Clank is a great PSP game just like Pistol whip for VR.

But what a drag for extra users...
Still I Ill give The Plucky Squire a go ( and it's day 1 too)

A Look at All of the 3D Platformers Available on Vita

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "3D platformers have long been a favourite genre of mine. Growing up on the likes of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon on PS1 means I’ve been conditioned to love the colourful, vibrant worlds and the exploration-based gameplay that often goes with the 3D platformer. In recent generations the genre has stalled, with fewer new releases and publishers unwilling to invest in new titles, and even older mascots falling by the wayside.

Yet thanks to its brilliant backwards-compatibility with PS1 and PSP games, the Vita has become something of a home for the neglected genre, with plenty of classic games playable (especially thanks to HD Remasters from the PS2 era) and a few brilliant modern titles thrown into the mix too."
