Company overview
Insomniac was founded in 1994 as an independent video game developer and is now based in Burbank, California. Its initial game, a first-person shooter called Disruptor for the PlayStation, was released on November 20, 1996, and was a critical darling. Since then, the company has released seven more games in two series (both of which were created by the company) for the PlayStation and the PlayStation 2, and all have been both critical and commercial successes. After three Spyro games, the company went on to create the Ratchet & Clank series. The first Ratchet & Clank has the notable distinction of being the first Western-produced game to be officially bundled with the PS2 in Japan, a country notoriously fickle in its video game tastes. Namcos Pac-Man was a hit, and became a cultural phenomenon. ...

In 2006, Insomniac released a violent, M-Rated PlayStation 3 first-person shooter, very unlike its other works. Its name during production was I-8, but it was then renamed Resistance: Fall of Man. It has been compared to the likes of Half-Life 2 because of its towering spider-like enemies. Futuristic weapons seem to owe to Ratchet & Clank.

Relations with other Developers
Naughty Dog Insomniac has had a close relationship with fellow developer Naughty Dog. They make games that are similar in style, which sometimes contain references to each other. (Look at some of the city walls in Jak II or check out the start-up menu in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando). Demos for one company's games often appear on the other's releases. Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage contained a demo of Crash Team Racing, for example. Also, Insomniac's Ratchet and Clank series utilized some technology from Naughty Dog's Jak and Daxter games. Because of their friendship, many fans have wondered if the two companies would collaborate on a game. However they have, in the past, publicly stated that they don't have plans for making a game together, although both Jak II and Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando featured billboard cameos of each others heroes (and a scene in Going Commando shows Ratchet playing both his games, both Jak games, and Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus). This is taken one step further in Jak X: Combat Racing and Ratchet: Deadlocked: both feature Ratchet and Jak respectively as unlockable skins. Naughty Dog is an American video game company founded by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin in 1986. ...
