THQ’s heebie jeebie inducing Deadly Creatures, which cast players in the unorthodox and unsettling roles of a scorpion and tarantula, was praised by those who played it – unfortunately, critical acclaim didn’t translate into commercial success, but that doesn’t mean the work that went into this strangely satisfying title was in vain.
