Today
Gamecock
Media Group
announced
Crackpot
Entertainment’s
Insecticide
will be
released on
PC and the
Nintendo DS™
system this
holiday
season. The
classically
styled
action
adventure
detective
game brings
the look and
feel of
gritty
gumshoe
films into a
futuristic
city where
insects have
become the
dominant
race.
Insecticide’s
gameplay
puts players
in the shoes
of bug
detectives
charged with
the task of
investigating
a mystery of
epic
proportions.
Players will
discover
gameplay
elements
reminiscent
of classic
adventure
titles, and
action
elements
that will
get the
heart
racing.
Every aspect
of the game
brings
players into
a totally
interactive
world to
discover,
allowing
them to put
together and
utilize
clues to
their
fullest
extent in
hunting down
culprits.
Bringing the
game to both
PC and
Nintendo DS
opens a
plethora of
options and
expands the
possibilities
of scenarios
players will
find
themselves
in. The
unique input
options of
PC and
Nintendo DS
will allow
for precise
navigation
to
investigate
environments
and expertly
control
special
talents of
the
characters.
“The heart
of classic
detective
novels and
movies is to
get the
audience
involved
mentally,
but now via
PC and the
Nintendo DS
we can get
players
involved in
a much more
tactile
arena,” said
Rick Stults,
Console
Chief for
Gamecock
Media Group.
“The mouse
and the
stylus are
the key to
the ‘touch
and feel’
experience
we’re really
aiming for
with this
game and I
think that’s
something
players are
really going
to enjoy.”
Insecticide’s
interactive
environments
are fully
realized in
realtime 3D
on the
Nintendo DS
and the wide
array of
in-game
items, clues
and weapons
assure hours
of
entertainment
either at
home or on
the go.
Additionally,
players on
the Nintendo
DS will be
able to team
up with
friends and
other
comrades in
arms for
multiplayer
action.
Never before
has a crime
world had
this much
buzz.
