There are two games that you should keep your eyes on this week. The (far) more interesting one is Fuse by Insomniac. This four-player cooperative action game is being published by EA and will be available on multiple platforms. I don’t remember the last time an Insomniac game was published by a company other than Sony (I think it was 1996, but don’t quote me on that) and it’s weird seeing a game from this stellar developer on a non-Sony console. Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria! The other release is GRID 2.
This week’s pairing reminds me of when Ricky Gervais introduced Tom Hanks and Tim Allen at the Golden Globes:
What can I say about our next two presenters? The first is an actor, producer, writer and director whose movies have grossed over $3.5-billion at the box office. He’s won two Academy Awards and three Golden Globes for his powerful and varied performances starring in such films as Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Castaway, Apollo 13, and Saving Private Ryan. The other is Tim Allen.
So yeah, the other is GRID 2. Ha!
Any of you picking up new games this week?
Congratulations, sir! I believe that you are the first person ever to tie Fuse developer Insomniac with a reference from Ghostbusters 2.
Also, did Ricky Gervais really say that at the Golden Globes? Why is he such a dick?

That line is from the original Ghostbuster! And yes, Gervais totally said that. I thought it was hilarious.
