A new live-action trailer for The Bureau: XCOM Declassified partakes in an incongruous mixture of top-secret government information and large-scale social network marketing. Still, it will be interesting to see which way the public goes on the fate of Special Agent Meriadoc Brandybook, or Ennis Cole to give him his XCOM codename.

The video asks users to tweet hashtagged votes for what Cole should do in the aftermath of a classified incident which left him without his wife and child. Votes can be registered until Wednesday, July 24, when the video revealing his determined fate will be released.

That's all well and good, but the date to remember is August 20; that's when The Bureau opens its doors to Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
