Joining in the shower of big announcement at this year's VGAs was the long rumoured video game project from Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo Del Toro.

Del Toro is not just working on one title though. Working with Saint's Row dev Inc inSANE will be a trilogy of titles which and Del Toro hope will redefine storytelling in video games.

Del Toro explains: "With this new series of videogames, I want to take players to a place they have never seen before, where every single makes them question their own senses of morality and reality. THQ and Volition, Inc. are equally excited to make this vision of a completely new game universe into a reality."

The first game in the inSANE series is due for release in 2013 and THQ has yet to confirm which platforms the games will be developed for.
