Brendon Linsey reports:
''There's no questioning that since its conception, Ratchet & Clank has been the best platformer around. The Lombax and his robotic pal have been in zany adventures all over the universe, and on several platforms. Secret Agent Clank marks the second time the series has appeared on the PSP, the first being Size Matters. Despite its lengthy and well-respected lineage, however, Secret Agent Clank is anything but a normal R&C game.
Fans of Ratchet & Clank are used to two things: clever writing and stories, and button-mashing, weapon-heavy combat. Secret Agent Clank features the former. As for the latter, it's no secret to say that this game isn't quite like the R&C you've grown fond of.
The biggest difference has to do with the focus on Clank. The game starts off with our tiny hero watching as his furry pal is busted for stealing the Eye of Infinity gem. Obviously he's innocent, so it's up to Clank to find out what's going on. Unfortunately, Clank has never been the brawn of the group, so unlike past games you'll have to rely more on his brain.''
And Pistol Whip, Secret Agent Clank and more launch on PlayStation Plus Premium.
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.

Under Water and Chernobylite are great gets. I also really enjoyed Road 96.
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.
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)
From GameWatcher: "Secret Agent Clank has been spotted in a promotional PS+ Email sent out to subscribers, but there’s been no confirmation from Sony yet.
High Impact Games released Secret Agent Clank for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) on June 17, 2008. The PlayStation 2 version followed on May 26, 2009 in North America. It didn’t come to Europe until June 19, 2009."
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."
