Ratchet & Clank Collection Release Date Announced -- Includes Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time Demo

The Ratchet & Clank Collection's release date has been announced. You'll get to hop back in to the hoverboots of the most ferocious Lombax and robot team ever on August 28 for $29.99.

The guys over at Sony figure if you love Ratchet & Clank then you're probably going to love the new Sly Cooper game too, so they've gone ahead and bundled an exclusive Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time demo with the collection.

The Ratchet & Clank Collection includes 1080p HD remasters of the three original PS2 Ratchet & Clank games, Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, and Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. Each game has been updated with Trophy and 3D support, and there will even be online play available for Up Your Arsenal, which is pretty freaking cool.

For some reason this game flew under my radar, but now I can't wait to play it. The original R&C games are definitely my favorite platformers of all time, so I'm excited to jump back in there and collect bolts for a R.Y.N.O.
