Ok, so Archos gets their music player in a game. I suppose that's good for advertising, although with a game this generic sounding, I think the game will benefit ALOT more then Archos will.

The really question that springs to my mind is the intelligence of associating Archos with the content of this game. This game is set in Hell, right? So wouldn't that make the Archos MP3 Player the MP3 Player from Hell??? Not a very good statement if you ask me....
