An Insomniac Games graphic arts intern, who worked on Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, lost her leg in a hit-and-run accident and is facing a long recovery and financial uncertainty with medical bills and college loans. Insomniac has donated $5,000 to Ana Kessel; a fund raiser for her has been established here.
Update: An Epic Games colleague (they're also based in Raleigh, N.C.) is auctioning off two autographed, full-sized gold Lancers from the Gears of War franchise, with all of the proceeds to be donated to Kessel.
