Gears of War 2 has a quite ridiculously complex new "viral" web site and interactive game

The Gears of War 2 marketing budget has been further depleted by the creation of this thing - which is a 3D exploration game thing of sorts, set in the Gears universe. You load, you verify your age, you get redirected somewhere else, you load some more...

Here's an image of the loading screen, seeing as it's all most people will bother looking at before giving up and going somewhere else.

If you do manage to make it past the loading screen, like I did thanks to this sort of thing being 100% allowed on work time, you're treated to some sort of interactive game thing in a 3D world where you have to scout around looking for COG tags.

There is probably a reward for completing it. Yet another video, probably. There are several thousand more important things to be done instead of this.
