Unraveling Xi (Well trying to)

Hey People

I hav just logged onto Playstation Home and have found some weird grafitti on the walls, I thought that it was a piece of promo for a game but actually is a launchpad for a new game for the Playstation Home and possibly Network too.

It is an alternate reality game called Xi and apparently is like a real time scavenger hunt much like The Lost Experience and Perplex City discussed at the beggining of the course.

The servers are at bursting point at the moment, but when it quietens down should be good to have a look at.

There is an artical on Kotaku at the moment about it, so have a look and see what you think.

  2. This appears to be the first console based ARG... a little piece of history... i'm pretty sure this is the first on many.

    for those that are interested in ARGs and pervassive games this seems like it is well worth following, it's oftern hard to find when an ARG starts so those with a PS3 might well be in for a treat... those without here are some links...
