For those of you not feeling the DS trailer for Insecticide, Gamecock's upcoming adventure/platformer, this new PC trailer may give you a bit more incentive to check out the title. The noir-inspired title hits stores January 8th and will allow you to play Detective Chrys Liszt as she and her partner Roachy Caruthers scour the deepest corners of the city for ugly crime.
More than a few gamers have noticed the title has a slight resemblance to cult favorite Psychonauts. While that's a good comparison, here's a more exciting fact: There are people working on this game who worked on Day of the Tentacle. All you have to do is mention a Lucasarts title and I'm spasming in my chair, but a title witihin the epic Maniac Mansion series? I'm clawing at the screen as we speak.
Earlier in the month (or maybe the end of last month) I cam across some screenshots of the PC version, and they looked good. Much, Much better than the DS version.
Are all 3d games on the DS as horrible looking as this one seems to be?

gameplay people, GAMEPLAY!
ssly, i'm not interested in this game in the slightest.
in other news, this game shares the same birthday as me and Elvis presleys.
Yes, this looks a lot like Psychonauts...
...And Psychonauts looks a lot like Invader Zim...
...And Invader Zim looks a lot like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.
[FYI, Invader Zim and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac were created by Jhonen Vasquez]
But I do like this PC trailer.
Definitely interested in checking out the game.
