When I first heard about the announcement of the new digital PSN exclusive Ratchet and Clank game at Gamescom i could not help but to get excited. Not because it is also coming to the vita but the fact that Insomniac said Ratchet and Clank: Full Frontal Assault will bring back the classic camera, weapons and third-person gameplay and adding a survival aspect that has you building and defending a base from enemy invasions.

Like I blogged about how digital gaming is growing here some good things can come from all digital like how Insomniac has also now confirmed they’re doing something incredible by including the new PSN Cross Buy feature which gives people who buy the game on PS3 a copy for the Vita for free. That’s an amazing deal.

Now it gets even better for those of you who want to try out the new action packed Ratchet & Clank game and don’t want to wait until late fall, you can sign up for the limited beta now! Only a limited amount of people will be accepted so go enter over at : http://www.insomniacgames.com/invite/ffa/

*Note: Beta is for North America only right now. In Europe, the game is titled Ratchet and Clank: Q-Force, and will be available on Blu-Ray disc and on the PlayStation store with its own beta later.
