All hail our Korean future in Homefront!

We get sent some cool promotional bits and pieces every now and then. This booklet from Kaos Studio's Homefront is one of them!

A lot of bumpf comes our way. If you're not familiar with the term, it's a catch-all for the strange varieties of marketing... stuff that tech vendors and games publishers send out to journos to get them hyped about a particular release. Sometimes it's simple, like a t-shirt or a hat, but other times... it deserves recognition in itself.

Like this, sent to us to promote Kaos Studio's upcoming game Homefront.

We got sent a package in the mail today that had us curious from the get go, as it was sent by a Comrade Jong from the Liberation Assistance Bureau in New York. It contained a little red book, a guide to the new America under Korean Federation rule.

And we love it. Check out our gallery of pics to see game promotion done right, and learn a little about Homefront's bleak occupied USA.

Aliens: Colonial Marines in depth; Z-77 Motherboard round-up; strategy gaming special; Home Server tutorial. PLUS MUCH MORE - ON SALE NOW!

CK Jun 10, 2010 6:24 PM	Please copy most urgently comrade Hollingworth, I don't want to be caught without my most glorious red book of the new Juche Federation....what might befall me? beheading maybe? or just plain old firing squad?
Fierce Guppy Jun 10, 2010 6:25 PM	Damn... I want a game where I can play a resistance fighter ~inside~ North Korea and end it with me giving the Dear Leader a boot party.
somemadcaaant Jun 11, 2010 1:02 PM	Smells like a real invasion to me… starts off with a simple package with a set of simple instructions, then the inevitable video game with imbedded visual stimulus propaganda, then further patches to fix up lack of scant clad females to induce coma and non thought… then BAM!!!!
somemadcaaant Jun 11, 2010 1:04 PM	I agree with fr3nzystrikesback and obey...
