There's certainly nothing else...

News Insomniac Hopes to Light a Fuse with Thumping New Trailer
Remember this game?
Fuse is definitely still a game. Insomniac Games’ first multiplatform endeavour has been hovering under the radar ever since it got delayed earlier in the year, but the developer will be hoping that this new trailer pushes the title back into the spotlight. It’s certainly better than previous videos for the co-op shooter –...

News Insomniac Games Blows a Fuse with Brand New Trailer
Keep your beak out
We know people are eager to throw Insomniac Games’ upcoming Fuse under a bus, but we reckon that this brand new trailer is solid. It’s got guns, it’s got laughs, and it’s even got some daft facial expressions. We suppose the only thing that it hasn’t got it is that awesome original art direction everyone seemed to love...

News Insomniac Games' Ted Price Talks Fuse for 18 Minutes
Turning the tide
Insomniac Games is not used to being met with cynicism when it announces a new project, but that’s exactly what it faced when it re-revealed Fuse earlier this year. Boasting a more generic art-style than its conceptual predecessor Overstrike, the game was not well received. Fortunately, the former Sony exclusive developer is...

News Insomniac Games Lights Up First Fuse Trailer
Hmm
We adore Insomniac Games, but we can’t seem to muster much enthusiasm about its latest project, Fuse. It’s not the game’s multiplatform status that’s getting us down – moreover it’s the title’s complete lack of identity. As this debut trailer demonstrates, the third-person shooter couldn’t possibly look any more soulless. We...

News Insomniac Taking "Extra Time" to Nail Overstrike's Gameplay
In the oven
One of the games conspicuously absent from this year’s E3 was Insomniac Games’ upcoming Overstrike. The four-player co-op shooter was announced at last year’s event under the EA Partners program, but has been hiding in the shadows ever since. Speaking with CVG, EA Labels gaffer Frank Gibeau explained that the delay was due to...
