"Since 1999 NStorm has been recognized as the leader in advergaming and viral marketing delivering results second to none." SuzySmith, what is interesting or unusual about an email-harvesting scam?

it's not necessarily an email harvest scam. While they do ask for your email address, it's not necessary to download the game (which seems to auto start with the popup window that allows you do receive updates). I downloaded the game -- which was mildly amusing -- without entering mine. Be patient. Give it a minute.

Yeah, what crunchland said. You don't have to provide your email address and the three games have been damn cute.

Based on the content and the severity of the "ad" for techtv in the game, I'd guess the former.
