10 Games Within Video Games You Must Play

7. Qwark Holovids - Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal

Insomniac

Not content to just continue the beloved 3D platforming genre, ‘Up your Arsenal’ decides to call back to days of the side scrolling platform. The Qwark Holovids were small additional levels where the player took control of Captain Qwark - the Galaxy’s biggest egomaniac - as he navigates side-scrolling style platforming levels. And they were fantastic.

With only five of them, each one offered its own unique challenges, with collectables and hidden secrets that rewarded the players with additional health of titanium bolts. Carefully made and with a lot of care and attention, the levels were a whole load of fun to play and encompassed another aspect of the platforming genre into a game series that is helping to keep the genre alive.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
