Creation of a PuppetMaster's Guide
bill writes "For a very long time, people at Unfiction have been collecting tips for PuppetMasters to help them create games. At the request of one such player, Deaddrop has created a wiki specifically for the PM Guide.

Art Of The Heist Declared A Marketing Success
bill writes "More than 200,000 people became involved with the search for the stolen A3 in a single day.

As a direct result of the campaign, online buzz for the A3 has grown by more than four times as a growing number of consumers are now participating in the thriller.

Within the first few days of the campaign launch, seven fan sites were created.

What's not to love about those results? The press release from Audi touts the success of its soon to be concluded search for the stolen A3. Read on for the official press release."
