Insomniac Games

Insomniac Games is a company that has long been associated with Sony, releasing a number of PlayStation-exclusive titles like Ratchet and Clank, Spyro the Dragon, Resistance, and Marvel's Spider-Man throughout the years. In fact, Insomniac has worked with Sony so often that you'd be forgiven if you thought that it was one of Sony's studios. Up until today, that wasn't the case, but now Sony has announced that it plans to make things official and purchase Insomniac.

Earlier this year, Sony and its Santa Monica Studio delivered a massive hit in God of War. The game proved to be so popular upon release that it became the fastest-selling PS4 exclusive ever, selling an impressive 3.1 million copies in its first three days of availability. It seemed like God of War would hold the record of fastest-selling PS4 exclusive for quite some time - selling 3.1 million copies in three days is no small achievement, after all - but then Insomniac came along with Spider-Man to snatch the record away.

Though E3 2015 has yet to begin, games like Ratchet & Clank can't wait to start the party off right. This game, they suggest, has you "play the game, based on the movie, based on the game!" In this case, that means the game is based on the original Ratchet & Clank, the PlayStation 2 game. This game will be coming to PlayStation 4 exclusively. Have a peek at the first trailer and you'll see why this is no previous-gen piece of work. It's all three dimensional and crazy and whatnot.

Over the past week and a half we’ve been playing Sunset Overdrive, a game exclusive to Xbox One and entirely unique in its look, gameplay, and next-level splattering of pop culture references. Sunset Overdrive places you in the customizable body of an apocalypse survivor. But this isn’t any normal apocalypse. As one NPCs suggests, this is the Awesome-pocalypse. This game isn’t about getting harangued for shooting your opponent incorrectly or for falling off a building too many times in a row. It's about having FUN.

If you’re one of the lucky few (like us) to be playing Sunset Overdrive in advance of the game’s launch, you’ll know that there are lots and lots of explosions. So very many explosions.

In celebration of this, Xbox and Insomniac Games are bringing on a week of explosions in the real world, and you get to see them right this minute - below, that is to say. You'll need to press play, too.
