    Default Dante's Inferno shows up as ASCII art on certain website scripts

    Some of the more well known gaming websites have had something somehow added to their source code...ASCII art promoting Dante's Inferno with some hidden information contained within each piece......a website and a password. Kotaku apparently had no idea it happend to their own.

    The site contained within each piece of art is Home - Hell Is Nigh

    Feel free to search on your own, but I'll put down the information here anyway:
    Password 1: excommunicate (found on Digg)
    Password 2: scythe (found on IGN)
    Password 3: grafter (found on GameSpot and Kotaku)
    Password 4: styx (found on Daily Motion)
    Password 5: unbaptized (found on Games Radar)
    Password 6: alighieri (found on WWE)

    Doing this entitles you to a prize which contains various wallpapers, posters, a few tidbits of music and concept art for the game. No tricks, it's all safe I assure you. Gotta say they have balls for pulling this off and without the sites knowing about it....or at least kotaku not being aware of it. They're really plugging the hell out of this game.

    I think it's getting stupid now.
    We get it, EA. You're promoting something.
    But going as far as undetected (is it?) ASCII art on website scripts....I think that may be a step too far, really.

    At least they got into the WWE website, though.

    I don't know. Kotaku themselves said they didn't know about the ASCII art until someone informed them there was art hidden in Digg's source code which made them check it themselves. I'm a bit curious why they chose to stick it on the WWE website though. I had to look myself to be sure of that one, but it's definitely there.

    Not bad stuff, though it still doesn't convince me to buy this game.
