First episode of Insecticide now on Steam and Direct2Drive, coming to Gametap
By Stephen Munn | July 4, 2008
If you saw my review of the Nintendo DS version of Insecticide, you already know how that went. If not, I’ll summarize it for you: wait for the PC version. The game was impressive in a lot of ways but fell short in others due to platform limitations. I’m pleased to announce that the first episode of the PC version of Insecticide is now available for download. This is a $15 episode that you can nab off Steam, Direct2Drive and Trygames right now. Currently it’s not up on Gametap, but it’s coming soon. I’ll be keeping an eye out for reviews, because at some point I’ll be picking up Leopard for my iMac and running Windows on here. This could be a worthwhile purchase for me.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
INSECTICIDE PART 1 NOW AVAILABLE FOR PC
It’s a Bug-Shoot-Bug World in Crackpot Entertainment’s Noir Thriller
Cockpit, Austin, TX – July 3, 2008 – Indie-publisher Gamecock Media Group announced today the release of part one (of two) of Crackpot Entertainment’s Insecticide for the PC. Insecticide is a noir thriller set in an insect world that plays out through a wide variety of offbeat action and adventure levels.
“Seeing Insecticide’s stylized noir visuals and quirky, oddball humor on the PC really bring the gameplay to life,” said Rick Stults, Console Chief for Gamecock Media Group. “The first episode is big enough to really keep gamers glued to the story, having fun, and really getting absorbed into the bug world.”
In a city overtaken by a sudden crime wave, rookie detective Chrys Liszt is on a crusade to rid the city of lowlifes. However, she immediately discovers that to reach her goal she will have to face the city of Troi’s most powerful criminal entities. Using only high tech pollen-based weapons, innate bug abilities, and hand-to-hand combat skills, Chrys must clean up Troi as well as learn more about her own past, which remains shrouded in mystery.
Insecticide fuses elements from different videogame genres to create a seamless, engrossing story-driven gameplay experience. Lighting fast shootouts, a cityscape brimming with life and high production value voice-overs and cut-scenes result in entertainment on par with Hollywood’s best.
Insecticide Part 1 is rated Teen and available now for $14.99. For downloading information, please visit www.insecticidethegame.com.

I hope it is up on Gametap today, as I was disappointed it was not there yesterday.
