10 Best Video Games We Never Got

10. Insane

The first in what was supposed to be a trilogy of titles, Insane was scheduled to be a survival horror for the seventh generation of consoles. Developed by Volition and slated to be published by THQ, the game was notable for being directed by Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro.

Insane was initially unveiled by Volition and del Toro in December 2010 at the Spike Video Game Awards with a thirty-second teaser trailer. Speaking about the game, the Mexican director claimed: "With this new series of video games, I want to take players to a place they have never seen before, where every single action makes them question their own senses of morality and reality."

By August 2012, however, the game was officially cancelled by THQ, who handed all the rights over to del Toro.

A full reason was never given, besides the usual corporate reshuffling, though the fact THQ were filing for bankruptcy five months later is a pretty good hint.

Del Toro still owns the property, but it's just a shame that a game that had all the possibilities of reimagining the horror genre is doomed to remain on the shelves.
