Back in June the first of two planned downloadable episodes for the action-adventure game Insecticide was released. Developed by Crackpot Entertainment and published by Gamecock, the full game was released on the Nintendo DS console, yet PC gamers are still waiting for the second and final PC episode of the game to be released. The game's official web site claims episode 2 is out there but none of the vendors mentioned (Steam, Direct2Drive and Trymedia) actually have the episode available to download and purchase.
Since Gamecock was recently acquired by Southpeak Games we contacted their PR folks to get an update on when or even if the second Insecticide PC episode would be released. We were told that there are no updates at all on the release, with the rep saying, "It seems to be TBD at this point." Big Download also contacted Crackpot Entertainment for comment but at the time of this post we had not heard back from them. At the moment it doesn't look like folks who bought the first episode will be getting the final one anytime soon.

Thanks for the update. I'm a little mixed as I bought the first game and thought it had a lot of promise, but like many hybrid games, it was really just two half games stuck together with duct tape, neither side being realized enough to be fun. If reviews of ep2 would come back say that it was a dramatic improvement, I'd re-look into the series but more than likely it is more of the same in which case I won't be sad if it never sees the light of day.
