Those japesters at Insomniac Games, developers of the Resistance franchise, have posted the following message on their Facebook page:
Whoops… looks like one got out. If you see a Grim on the loose… please return to Insomniac Games, Burbank, CA.
They have also provided a link to a news story on – of all places – The Daily Mail. Yes, the bastion of fine English journalism strikes again this time with a story of a ‘Forest ghoul caught on camera in dead of night by a deer hunter.’ The in-no-way-photoshopped picture below shows the terrifying creature.
The Daily Mail said ‘The hunter was lying in wait in the pitch black when a ghoulish spectre filled his sights. Its eyes glowing in the light of his torch, it leapt from the undergrowth and flashed a look at the camera before vanishing back into the bushes.’
Using their journalistic insight and intelligence The Daily Mail have concluded that as the creature is crouched in a similar way to Spiderman this may be an online viral for the forthcoming Spiderman 4 movie – despite their own article stating ‘Internet users agree the whole thing is merely a hoax – and one comment posted claimed the figure had been stolen from a video game he had seen two years ago.’

Is some idiot actually supposed to be trying to pass this off as real?
If it is and you were a hunter and you saw that ugly scary bastard in the dark woods, all on your own; wouldn’t you shoot the bloody thing rather than take a photo?

‘Its eyes glowing in the light of his torch’

I love that they thought this was for Spiderman 4! What kind of terrifying Spiderman have they got in mind!

Hmm, it has two arms, two legs and is crouching… must be Spiderman! :) Great picture; I can’t believe the Daily Mail actually wrote a news story about it. Hilarious!
