Ratchet Developer's Multiplatform Surprise
In rather a surprise move Insomniac Games - developer of note of PlayStation 3 releases - has announced a partnership with EA for a multi-platform game.
Insomniac is creating a new franchise that will be released on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This is the first time in 16 years the creator of the Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank and Resistance franchises has ventured onto a non-Sony platform.

The unnamed game is in development at Insomniac's Burbank, California studio. We expect it to be revealed at E3.
"Working with EA Partners allows us to extend the reach of our games to a multiplatform audience while retaining ownership of the intellectual property," said Ted Price, founder and CEO of Insomniac Games. "We are excited and eager to introduce Insomniac to a new group of gamers while reinforcing to our loyal fans what makes our games special."
"This is an exciting day for all of us at EA Partners and for gamers everywhere," said David DeMartini, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EA Partners. "Insomniac is renowned for their commitment to quality and their ability to create unique, exciting worlds for gamers to explore. We look forward to help them bring their next blockbuster franchise to the millions of diehard Insomniac fans on PlayStation and the soon to be millions of diehard Insomniac fans on Xbox 360."
Very exciting news, though actually only worth one single blog post, one feels.
