Posted by Spider on April 27, 2010 in Gaming | ∞

Visceral Games sent this to us today. It is a viral marketing concept for Dead Space 2.

The first bit is a note from the desk of Dr. Samara Yasmin concerning Patient #1544C. See it for yourself:

The second was a Rorschach test that was conducted on Patient #1544C. See it here:

As always you can click on either to get a bigger version.

The Rorschach test glows in the dark and shows strange writing.

We’re back again, even though we never went away

Seems that the Facebook Connect implementation didn’t go as well as we had wished. It denied us access to the admin area of the site so we were not able to post anything new in the past few weeks. After moving to a new, speedier server and doing some maintenance we found out this little [...]

Shattered Memories Comic Book Advert

Posted by Spider on November 15, 2009 in Comics, Gaming, V.1 | ∞

Nothing too exciting, but Konami is advertising in comic books for the game. This was from the October issues of Amazing Spider-Man. As always click to see the bigger version. Perhaps the more interesting part of this whole advert is what the ESRB has rated the game for. Sexual themes? While there was some sexual [...]

Posted by Spider on October 5, 2009 in Gaming, V.1 | ∞

Twitter follower MemoryOfAlessa (also a forum member under the same name) happened to be at the Gamestop in the Topanga Mall (Woodland Hills, CA) tonight and snapped this picture: As you can see this is the promotional display box put out by retailers to advertise the coming game.
