CapCom's contest in London yesterday for the launch of Resident Evil 5 almost went off without a hitch yesterday. Participants were given clues and sent off on a nearly literal scavenger hunt--for severed body parts. Steve Long won a trip for two to Africa for his ability to sniff out the rotting bits.
The faux-flesh was harmless, since you know, severed limbs in a city environment don't evoke panic, except that chicken livers were used to make the gore more realistic. A few went missing, probably dragged away by stray cats.
Joystiq urged Londoners not to eat the lost props.
