Insomniac are right out there with PS3 content, this time on the PSN with Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty.

Quest for Booty is a continuation of Ratchet Future, but at a more palatable size and a cheaper price.  From our live blog:

Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty. Shorter game, lower price. Paced like a blockbuster film.

Quest for Booty takes place after the last PS3 game… Clank has been abducted. One of the new abilities is an energy tether, sort of like the gravity gun. You can pick up lightning bugs and use them as a torch, for light/dark gameplay. This will also answer some questions lingering after Tools of Destruction.

Containing around 4 hours of gameplay and at a cost of $15, Quest for Booty will be out this summer on the PlayStation Network and Blu-ray disc.

Other newly announced PSN titles include Crash Commando, Fat Princess, and Media Molecule’s first game Ragdoll Kung Foo.  Andrew Podolsky waxes lyrical on these PSN titles and more:

Are you ready for a montage? First, Quest for Booty. Then Crash Commando, sort of a twin stick shooter with jet-packs, a side scroller. Fat Princess, which is… who freaking knows, but it looks cel-shaded and gorgeous.

Pixeljunk: Eden, a trippy game. Another Pain game, this one set in an amusement park with roller coasters. Here’s Flower, the sequel to Flow, where you apparently control a gust of wind or flower-petals. Next a very scary looking, Silent hill type game called Blood Curse, then Ragdoll Kung Fu. Seems quite solid.

Of these, Flower, Eden, Fat Princess and Blood Curse look very intriguing.

Just to further expand on some of these games.  You can download a demo for the episodic title Siren: Blood Curse right now, or already buy it from the Japan PlayStation Store if you feel so obliged.  PAIN: Amusement Park is an expansion for the already released PAIN, which will launch with trophy support.  Pixel Junk: Eden, featuring 3 player co-op, comes from developer Q-Games who brought us the addictive and amazing Pixel Junk: Monsters. That’s all for now folks.
