The First Meet Nox Tour Event Finished

The First Meet Nox Tour Event Finished is today's promo hook. Publishers are throwing prizes, rebates and giveaways at players, because apparently just selling the game is not.

The First Meet Nox Tour Event Finished is today’s promo hook. Publishers are throwing prizes, rebates and giveaways at players, because apparently just selling the game is not enough anymore.

The useful part: The first Meet Nox event happened at cyber café Club-I and saw more than 50 contest winners playing Nox for four hours, savoring the first finished levels of the single player game and pounding the life out of each other in multiplayer mayhem. The average rating for Nox among the 54 gamers surveyed was 9.2 out of 10. The Meet Nox tour is going to hit at least four more cities before the game ships early next year. File it under the usual 1999 PC pile: interesting, crowded, and probably fighting five other releases for attention.
