Sony announces five new PS3 titles for PSN

Ratchet and Clank: Quest For Booty headlines new batch of PSN titles.

Sony Computer Entertainment has detailed five new PSN titles in development for the PlayStation 3 - all of which are being shown off at E3 this week.

Ratchet and Clank: Quest For Booty
Ratchet and Clank return to PS3 with their trademark crazy weaponry, side-splitting comedy and dazzling 3D animation in this bite-sized treasure tale. Help Ratchet sail solo into a world of galleons, parrots and cutlasses in his quest to uncover booty and his missing mate Clank. Journey through the dark caves of Hoolefar Island, navigate the treacherous Viper Caverns and take on foul-tempered buccaneer and new nemesis Captain Darkwater. Beware, though: danger lurks around every corner.

Fat Princess
How do you prevent your princess from being carried off by enemy warriors? In this game for up to 32 players (16 vs. 16), the answer is to feed her until she's too heavy to lift. However, it's not an easy task. You'll need to harvest food, equip an army, fight the enemy on the battlefield and develop strategies of attack and defence - all the while, keeping your princess full of fattening food products. Then, it's time to go and steal the enemy's princess - if you can get her through the door, that is.

Flower
Another soothing, relaxing experience from thatgamecompany - developers of fl0w - Flower tasks you with gathering petals and soaring through the air across majestic landscapes, in order to purify the land as you see fit. Take a break from the usual frantic action of PSN to spread love and harmony throughout your surroundings with this peaceful and creative game that will appeal to players of all ages.

CRASH COMMANDO
Join duelling factions the Grunts and the Jarheads to fight for world supremacy in this frantic side-scrolling fragfest! Fly into action with your jetpack, and then crush the enemy with an arsenal of 15 awesome weapons, tanks, jeeps, and even special moves. Whether you're playing alone at boot camp, or 12-player online, you'll love the accessible, over-the-top gameplay of CRASH COMMANDO.

Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic
Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic is a PS3-exclusive reworking of the much acclaimed 2005 title. It's Kung-Fu party action with a difference - your warriors are shiny and stretchy puppets who fight with wildly exaggerated motions to create awesome visual effects. Build up your Chi power by mastering your moves, then use it to create spectacular SIXAXIS special attacks and combat sequences. Perfect your skills at home, then head online for multiplayer rag doll mayhem.

Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty is due for release this autumn. Fat Princess, Flower, Crash Commando and Rag Doll Kung Fu are currently without release dates.
