Insomniac has a knack for creating experiences with fun and intuitive gameplay, but with some twists, and we&#8217;re sure <em>Ratchet &amp; Clank<\/em> has some tricks up its sleeve &#8211; not to mention that it&#8217;s one of the most beautiful games on the system to date.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iU3sU2WMcPM?rel=0\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 class=\"my-4\">Rugby Challenge 3<\/h2>\n<p><em>Release date: 22\u00a0April (Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Rugby Challenge 3<\/em> has been delayed more times than we can count, and although it infuriates us, we have to admit that we&#8217;re still pretty excited for it because the current rugby games on the market have left a lot to be desired. This time around, the development has shifted from Sidhe to Wicked Witch Software, so hopefully we&#8217;ll see some gameplay improvements from <em>Rugby Challenge 2<\/em>. In addition to having the South African Super Rugby and Springbok licenses (finally), there is also a Sevens mode, which lets players take on the shortened, faster version of the beloved sport. Here&#8217;s hoping <em>Rugby Challenge 3<\/em> is the rugby game we&#8217;ve been waiting for.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wv9lGdQlUxs?rel=0\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">More game releases this week:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/xbox-one-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60361\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60361 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Xbox-One-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"Xbox One platform tag\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Rugby Challenge 3<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/ps4-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60358\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60358\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/PS4-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"PS4 platform tag\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ratchet &amp;
