Play Insomniac Games' Outernauts Now!
Pokemon fans, put down your Nintendo DS and boot up Facebook. Insomniac Games' first social-network game, Outernauts, is all about monster collecting and battling.
My first monster is a white monkey who comes readily equipped with a ferocious "slap" attack. After leveling up once, this adorable killer learned how to throw snowballs.
The game features the great production values you'd expect from an Insomniac game, as well as all of the annoying "share your accomplishments with your friends" messages that come with Facebook interaction. Jump into the game, and let us know what you think of it!
Note: Although the game still says "beta" on its start-up and loading screens, an Insomniac representative says it is no longer in beta.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
