Long time since I posted on here (I Love Bees, to be exact!)
Just thought you guys would like to see the clues given to Eurogamer:
# The words provide the clues.
# The letters points to three cities of Gaia.
# The intricate web holds secrets to the dream of fallen earth.
It might help in some way...

At the risk of being yelled at The Last X-Files episode "The Truth" The X-Files ("The Truth," 2002): On December 22, 2012 Aliens invade Earth.
Also Nephilim are mentioned in Episode 5x17 "All Souls"
This might be a tie in to an X Files ARG which would be weird considering the show has been dead for 5 years.

So it's definitely a traditional video game announcement, but it's still clever.
Edit: Wow, Eurogamer has gotten much further than us. The anagram is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
dark days are coming
Which leads to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
darkdaysarecoming.com
Which has another puzzle. Solving that puzzle leads here:

May be wishful thinking.

Update February 2007
Things have gone very quiet on the official front about a second X-files
movie, even David Duchovny has not been talking about it lately.
This does not mean to say that plans for a second X-files movie have
been shelved, just don't expect the movie any time soon.
Chris Carter has an ongoing legal suit with Fox over a breach of contract,
that it would appear will have to be settled before production on a second
X-files movie could begin.

Secret Solved? The "Fallen Earth" in the url and Forum name caught my eye. Did a google search, and found this:
http://www.fallenearth.com/
This is a game site for the game "Fallen Earth", looked to me like it fit in with the premise so far. Soon to be released. More info on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallen_Earth
Is this it? Promo for the upcoming video game? Seems pretty convincing to me.

someone who runs a text-based RPG i play called Otherspace is working on fallen Earth a new MMORPG in development. It makes sense that they would target that community of players first. i'll sniff about and see if I can get confirmation or denial from wes(the guy who writes for fallen earth

I think the game is called Cry Gaia.
http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/786/786555p1.html
Apparently, 'Gaia' means Earth, so we were well on with the thoughts of the apocalypse, crying Earth, etc.
Though I still want the game to be about comets and fallen angels, simply because we said it should be.

Re: The Truth
Please - be careful. All you need to know is within that document. If you cannot see it, put it out of your mind: there are things in this world that, once seen, can never be unseen. The path ahead is dark. If you are not committed, turn around.
If you are committed...
The words point the way to the four pillars.
The letters open the gates to the great cities of man.
The sun will shine upon your entrance into the sacred temple of Gaia.
Once beyond - beware - and tread cautiously.

Interesting! I think his response is just a description of how to solve the riddle.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
On the above mentioned links, you get four words that (combined) lead to http://www.darkdaysarecoming.com
Depending on where you live, you get to London, New York or Shanghai

When you place the right symbols at the right spot and in the right position, the circle will turn to a sun and will let you in.

There's also a link to a forum where "A friend" posted that THEY are watching us and that we need to be careful.
Now, I think we are still not done with this. Does anybody know about the four symbols? What do they mean or what do they stand for?
