It's viral marketing for Singularity. It is kind of hokey but from what I heard that is what they were going for.

You ARE aware this is a viral marketing campaign... and a mediocre one at that.

Well I agree with RobG...it's contrived, and badly written and plotted.

Did you watch the youtube video? They overreached, badly... had they kept it simpler it could have been decent, but stuff like that youtube video is unforgivable.

Man I swear the 12 year olds and retards from sites like game trailers and kotaku have infiltrated our boards.

ebagg it's not designed to make you want to play the game you fucking douche. It's to get the word out about the story and build up to the game. Don't be such a fucking prick.

"Life is just a game. Live it" (and other strap-lines)

People are taking this rather seriously reading the comments on that site. I'm not entirely convinced that blurring the lines in the current climate of anti-terror legislation is that much of a good idea at the moment, especially given how twitchy people are.

Boy howdy talk about splitting hairs!

The main market for this game is, yes, the western market. This is what we associate with 'Russian'. Ergo...
