The two sides of Insecticide

The folks at Gamespot were recently in the enviable position of having the chance to get their hands on Insecticide, a game we can't help but love, if only for the art style and intriguing concept. One of the best things about Insecticide is that it's almost two games in one; half action platformer, half adventure-style puzzle and investigation sequences. It's the best of both worlds, and Justin Calvert got to try both. Our own JC Fletcher had the same chance at PAX with an earlier version of the title, so we can't help but wonder if some of the rough edges have been smoothed.

And it seems there's some good news: Calvert reported only issues with the uneven look of the game, and no platforming problems at all. If that's the case, then it looks like Insecticide only needs a polish to help it realize its potential, and from everything we've seen, that could truly be something great. We're keeping our fingers crossed, in hopes that we'll be getting buggy (and loving it) early next year.

This game looks awesome. It seems like gamecock came out of nowhere with a handful of great titles to release. The Mushroom Men game of theirs looks like it could be even better than Dementium!

I can only conclude that they chose well when they decided to do a bunch of games for the DS. ;)
