Alternate Reality Games. They’re either done spectacularly right or horribly wrong. In Crysis‘ case, it seems to be the latter. Trying to pull off an ARG, they sent a military style document, complete with blacked-out sections and a prepaid SIM card in hopes that they’ll be able to pull off a successful viral marketing coup. Needless to say, the people who received it weren’t too amused. John Walker, of Rock, Paper, Shotgun, went against all logic and actually decided to see where this led to. Nowhere, that’s where, unless for some strange reason you love terrible voice acting. Looks like some people just don’t learn their lesson. The rest of us? We’ll stick to hacking into Dharma’s or Aperture Science’s computers, thank you very much.
