The boys at Gamecock are finally starting to reveal more of their hand as this trailer for Crackpot Entertainment’sInsecticidecontains actual gameplay footage, much unlike theMushroom Menteaser released a while back. Gamecock pledged to publish unique and innovative new games but to be perfectly frank, I am yet to hear anything from these guys that makes me think “wow, that’s original.” Sure, while the announced games might have a quirky story, likeInsecticide‘s cop-drama-with-insects premise, the actual gameplay sounds far from fresh. Watching this trailer, it looks that way too.Right now, all thatInsecticideis showing for itself is a third person shooter/platformer, and not a great one at that. Granted, I am a cynical, curmudgeonly, Scrooge-like figure who is hard to please and this could look a lot better when further details and more footage are made known, but at this juncture, I am not impressed by what this trailer shows. Not at all. I’m hoping that when Gamecock gives titles the chance they’d never have otherwise, it isn’t because those titles are garbage.
