The Ratchet and Clank franchise is definitely a family friendly franchise. However, that doesn't mean that Insomniac doesn't try to spice it up with a bit of suggestive humor. Notably, the subtitles of the Ratchet games are packed with adult innuendos - Up Your Arsenal, Size Matters, and Quest for Booty are just a couple that stick out.
Insomniac announced Ratchet and Clank Future 2: A Crack in Time earlier this week, and the title continues the tradition of toilet humor in the subtitle. However, 'A Crack in Time' was only Insomniac's second choice for the game. James Stevenson, Insomniac's Community Relations Manager, recently revealed that the developer's original caption for the game was 'Clock Blockers'. Keeping in with Future 2's theme of time travel, 'Clock Blockers' was a bit to risque, for obvious reasons, and Sony put the ax to the subtitle.
So what do you think, 'Clock Blockers' or 'A Crack in Time'? Ratchet and Clank Future 2: Clock Blo -- err, A Crack in Time, will be out later this year, exclusively on the PS3.
