This week's video game releases

Folks, this is one of the biggest weeks in the history of the PlayStation 3. With their exclusive "Ratchet and Clank" game hitting shelves, Sony badly needs this game to not only reach expectations but be good enough to sell some consoles all by itself. And, speaking as a fan of the series, I really think this can be the closest thing Sony has to a console-moving game.
