Blizzard's 'Project Blackstone' is StarCraft 2 marketing

A curious website went live recently called 'Project Blackstone', which posed as a high security login. It turns out that it guards an email exchange between Dr Helek Branamoor and Blackstone Research.

There's some revelation about some "surprising similarities" between Zerg and Terran cellular structures. Heart of the Swarm is due to release in March, and so this reeks of marketing.

The password to login is: Y7_$0>0k_3<$m. This was found by PCGamesN. StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm releases on PC March 12th. A month of email snooping awaits.

Oh dear, how clever of you Blizzard. Looks like some still haven't gotten over Spielberg's stunt when making "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
He had t-shirts and baseball caps made-up with the tile "Blue Harvest" on them, just to throw everyone off the scent.

I therefore dub this *sigh* Blizzard effort: The Spielberg Syndrome.
