 		March 2009 Maxim Magazine - ARG Article
Interview with Level42 and overview of ARG's in general
A good article in the latest edition of Maxim Magazine (March 2009), titled "Mind Control, Inc.".

The article interviews Susan Bonds, Jordan Weisman, players, and others. It talks about a few of the campaigns 42 has run, and ARG's in general.

It's a great article - unfortunately, I wasn't able to find it online, only in the magazine. So go pick up the latest copy Laughing


==Correction==
I meant 42 Entertainment in the Thread topic, not Level 42... Embarassed

 		Now if someone can just get Consumer Reports to talk about ARGs, I'll have achieved the ultimate trifecta of unexpected ARGticles in the three magazines to which I subscribe.

 		Interesting...so 42 Entertainment has an original property in the works.

Regarding /film's comments, I think it might be a little unfair to compare the experiences created for The Dark Knight and The International. Obviously we know nothing about the budgets of the two projects, but I would hazard a guess that the latter had a significantly smaller budget.
