Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal
Her first appearence was at a legal Gladiator show called Annihilation Nation, where she handed over the Thyrra- Guise, as a prize for winning a gauntlet, to Ratchet. Later in the game, Ratchet and Clank found one of her music videos (see video below), that led to suspicion that she was affilated to Nefarious. After Ratchet and Clank won another Annihilation Nation match, Clank arranged a meeting with her at the Holostar Studios. At the studios, however, she shows her true side by kidnapping Clank and replace him with Klunk, Clank's evil twin. Even more later, she kidnaps Skidz, a commrade of Ratchet, and turns him into a robot. She plans to do the same with Ratchet, however despite her impressive fighting abilities and backup dancers, Ratchet defeats her and seemingly destroys her.

Ratchet: Deadlocked
Surprisingly, Courtney Gears survived and made a cameo appearance in Ratchet Deadlocked. Her first cameo was when the DreadZone comentators, Dallas and Juanita, reported that Courtney recently recovered from being attacked by "pshycotic fans" (Those "fans" were Ratchet and Clank) and that she has released an album entitled (ironically) "Don't hurt me like that". It is also revealed that she once dated a robot named, Reactor. At first, she dumped him when he was a math teacher. Later, when Reactor became famous gladiator, she came rushing back to him.

Courtney appeared as the Casino Owner and had a vastly different appearance implying that she may be inhabiting a different body, in Secret Agent Clank and was working with Klunk, one of Nefarious' creations, in exchange for a large sum of money. She was defeated by Clank after he challenged her to a casino game.
