I Heart Bees Again - Halo 3's Iris ARG

Posted by Zonk on from the alt-fire-engaged dept.

I Love Bees is regarded as one of the more successful alternate reality games (ARGs) ever run in the US. It should be no surprise, then, that the game's spiritual sequel entitled simply Iris , is causing quite a stir. It began on June 11th, with cryptic messages in the Bungie forums. Designed to take players through the history of the Halo world over the course of the summer, players have already uncovered some 'pre-game' information; for all intents and purposes the actual game hasn't started yet. Michael VanderZand probably wish it was already over, though: then he might have some peace and quiet. The climax is expected sometime on September 26th, the day after Halo 3 releases to stores.

    Halo 1,2, yeh yeh, I bored with that 1st person runny shooty format, does Halo 3 run on Wii? Does it have proper Numchuk support or not?

    Get with the times!

  2. Bungie Desperate After Halo 3 Beta Flop by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Bungie is really sounding desperate to generate any sort of hype after the beta bombed.

    Less time with idiotic PR/marketing crap like this Bungie and more time trying to make a real next gen game.
