New videogame ARG? (LOST PLANET: Extreme Condition)
http://www.neovenusconstruction.com/

[EDIT: Thanks Lovek! ... This is already being discussed in News & Rumors here]

As reported by IGN:

It seems like Capcom is taking a cue from its American counterparts. Close to the end of the most recent Lost Planet: Extreme Condition webisode -- just before the game's logo is displayed -- discerning viewers can see the silhouette of a url: neovenusconstruction.com

Following this URL leads to a website for the fictional Neo Venus Construction Corporation, a company central to Lost Planet's storyline. The website is divided into various subsections with information on each and a sign-in form. Unfortunately, either the username and password have not yet been made available, or we just weren't clever enough to decipher them. Either way, we were stuck being unable to get past the top page for any of the subsections. Each of the subsections also has a link to a job opportunities page; although following links from these pages will just lead you back to the corresponding subsection of the site.

Under to Space Flight subsection is a link to another fictional website tangentially connected to the game: www.tourbitaerospace.com. The Tourbit Aerospace website features information on commercial space travel services, but has very little connection with the game itself. Some links on the site are dead, so perhaps more will be added later.

At this point, the exact purpose of these websites remains unclear, but their ties to Lost Planet are indisputable. In the game, the Neo Venus Construction Corporation is directly tied into the plotting and machinations which affect the player's struggle on the icy planet.
