Insecticide combines a noir theme with visual elements of Psychonauts and personality-filled characters reminiscent of an adventure game. This is our first chance to see any of the actual DS version of the game, however, and something tells us the publisher doesn't want us to see it. The PC trailer certainly didn't get the shaky-cam treatment.
Check after the break for a textbook example of how not to make a video game trailer. Seriously, this goes beyond poor editing or bad screen quality and into intentional obfuscation. But it's worth it to check it out, because Crackpot's game looks fantastic.

18 seconds in, a stylus taps the top screen. WTF?

ZOMG! You have a sharp eye, I didn't even notice. What a massive screw-up - I wonder what this means for the game?
It looks decent to me, I love the noir style and it could be fun.

That shakey camera pisses me off to no end.
