Is Microsoft getting viral with the Xbox 2?

Certainly looks like it, if various reports are on the money. Some people have come across ourcolony.net, which purports to be an online game of some sort. Getting into the site is a lot easier than it appears - the answer is right in front of your eyes. 

Just as the "Halo 2" title was heralded via the ilovebees.com, it looks like the MS folks are trying to send people on a wild goose chase - one that probably ends up slowly revealing itself as the next Xbox unit.

Yep, at first glance it doesn't seem like this ourcolony.net site has anything to do with Xbox or Microsoft - but a little detective work by entreprenuerial readers of Engadget has shown that the ant featured on that website has been seen elsewhere, like on a Microsoft VP's person at the Game Developers Conference or in the screenshots included in high-res images of the "next generation" Xbox.

Coincidence?  Doubt it.
