Shooters, shooters, are no fun, unless you kill everyone! Hmm. Shooters, shooters, are no fun, unless you give the 360 some! No, no... the PS3 some! Yes, that's right. Well, the upcoming shooter Haze has released a viral site, not unlike the Dharma Initiative sites for the TV show Lost. This site, dedicated to Mantel Global Industries, is pretty fun to surf around and comical to listen to the PR guy talk about his company.The lead character in the game works for this company, so you can see why it's getting the "we're so awesome, check out this dramatic camera angle" makeover on the viral site. Instead of telling you what's on the site, which there's a good bit of info floating around (and some not yet available), we'll let you surf it yourself and tell us what you think. Enjoy.

Another shooter. Looks like Halo. Hmmm.

I seriously doubt this will be just another shooter.
These are the guys that made the Timesplitters series, which were among the best shooters on the PS2 - the only first person shooters I like on the consoles, actually.
I don't really care about the site, though. It doesn't seem to say much about the gameplay, and that's what I want to hear about.

The site lacks a true 'viral' presence-- if they really wanted to fake us out they wouldn't have dramatic camera shots of that goofy guy with the lisp and it certainly wouldn't be playing drama music in the background.
Still, if the comments above are any indication, this could be a good game despite so-far lame marketing.

Ah i loved those viral marketing sites for LOST, good times...good times.
I heard a Mittlelos biolabs one was just set up, viral marketing for the win!
