Insomniac Games
Insomniac started in 1994, and is now based in Burbank, California. Its first game, a first-person shooter called Disruptor, was released on November 20, 1996 for the PlayStation. It was given very good reviews by critics, but did not sell many copies. After this game, they made the Spyro the Dragon for the PlayStation. This series was very successful, and Insomniac made the first three games in the series. After Insomniac lost the license to the Spyro series to Universal Interactive, they began working on a game called Girl with a Stick. The developers at Insomniac didn't like this game, so they decided to make the Ratchet & Clank series instead. The first game in the series, Ratchet & Clank, was released on November 4, 2002. It got very high reviews, and Insomniac have made six more Ratchet & Clank games since. Ratchet & Clank games have so far sold 25 million copies. In 2006, Insomniac released their first PlayStation 3 game, Resistance: Fall of Man, and released Resistance 2 in 2008. Resistance 3 was released in 2011.
