General info :
Insomniac Games is the business name of Insomniac Games, Inc., an American video game developer whose corporate headquarters is located in Burbank, California. It was founded in 1994 by Ted Price as "Xtreme Software", and was renamed "Insomniac Games" a year later. It has released titles for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One video game consoles.

The company's first project was Disruptor, for the first PlayStation console, whose poor sales almost led to the company's bankruptcy. Insomniac's next project was Spyro the Dragon, a successful video game that spawned two sequels within two years. Insomniac then developed a new franchise, Ratchet & Clank, for the PlayStation 2. The company also developed the Resistance series for the PlayStation 3, and released its first multi-platform game, Fuse in 2013. The company also worked with Microsoft Studios on 2014's Sunset Overdrive. The company's current projects include an underwater Metroidvania game called Song of the Deep, an Oculus Rift action-adventure game titled Edge of Nowhere, and an as-yet untitled Spider-Man game for the PlayStation 4.

Insomniac Games has received recognition from critics as an acclaimed video game developer. It was named the twentieth-best video game developer by IGN, and the best place to work in America by the Society for Human Resource Management. Some employees who left Insomniac Games have founded their own independent companies, such as High Impact Games.
