We're big fans of Insecticide, and not just because it gives us an opportunity to wheel out our lamest insect puns (happily, it's no longer alone in that respect). Okay, that's a part of it, but from what we've seen and played of Crackpot's game, Insecticide looks like another top-drawer addition to a genre that's already overflowing with goodness: DS adventure games.
This latest trailer of the title might be light on gameplay footage (read: there's none whatsoever), but it still does a fantastic job of communicating the game's noirish feel. There's the gravelly-voiced narrator, rookie upstart cops, cigar-smoking veteran detectives, and lashings of moody silhouetting. In short: DO WANT.

I agree! I usually load all the Weblogs, Inc. sites that I visit into tabs in one go. Having to search through them all to close down an autoloading video is a real hassle.
In short: DO NOT WANT.

This seems like a concept that would work better as an animated movie than a game. The short gameplay movies I've seen doesn't do anything for me, but with a game like this I guess a lot of it comes down to how it controls.
