Homefront continues to deliver the best PR stunts

THQ reveals the ominous Operation Watersnake, and gets us even more excited about the upcoming near future shooter Homefront.

We're loving Homefront - and we haven't even had a skerrig of hands-on time yet. The game's looking good, and the demo we saw at E3 was certainly solid, but more than anything, we're loving the tack that THQ's taking with the game's PR.

You might remember the little red book we received a little while back? Well, the latest documents to be snuck out of the portion of the US occupied by the Korean People's Army in 2027.

We've taken a mess of shots of this series of documents, and it's really worth having a look at - the details is superb, making this more of a prop than a press release. It doesn't mention the name of the game at all, and is entirely in Korean. In fact, have a look now before reading on.

As you can see, it's an alarming seeming document, but unless you're handy with Korean, hard to read. Until we discovered the pen with the hidden USB stick in it. Which, of course, has an English translation of an operation codenamed Watersnake.

Download the PDF here and find out what the Glorious Leader of 2027 has planned to stop the United States in its tracks.

Sounds amazing, so much attention to detail and flower seller abusing (laughs)... reminds me of the older days of gaming when the extra "stuff" was a huge draw card, I want it now!
