In the east Village area of New York City, all of the cars in the area had their windows tagged with the decal underneath. It is an advertising campaign of Zynga, a Web 2.0-based social network game developer, promoting their new game crime-themed game, Mafia Wars Las Vegas. The decal reads: “A heist went down in your hood today. See it at MafiaWarsLV.com.”

In this trailer a bunch of skateboarders are transforming downtown Los Angeles into one big customized skate park. It’s a trailer for the new Shaun White Skateboarding game. Probably the soundtrack “Little Green Bag by George Baker Selection” gives some extra power. The spot concludes with the slogan, “The transformation begins fall 2010”.

Xbox: Sun dial

Posted by Sander Janssen on June 15, 2010 No comments yet

Today we’ve found another billboard that has been turned into a sundial. The purpose of this billboard is to scare gamers for the launch of ‘Alan wake’ the highly anticipated psychological action thriller game on Xbox. The message is simple: ‘dark is deadly’, so when it turns night the shadow on the sundial is pointing at Dead.

Assasin’s Creed: Short Movie

Posted by Bert Callens on November 4, 2009 No comments yet

I’ve noticed a new trend among video games. Because it is a cruel market with hard competition (Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo,..) and all games are becoming better and better, creators are spending more money to advertising. Personally I’m not really a gamer. I don’t have the time for it, and I don’t know which game to play (God knows how many games there are).
But after seeing this short movie for Assasin’s Creed, I would know.

It’s a live-action short movie (14 minutes long) that is packed with beautiful special effects. Released just a week ago, the video now has over 1 million views on YouTube.
And soon there will be a part two of this great short movie!

Halo 3: Tarkov

Posted by Bert Callens on October 14, 2009 No comments yet

Here’s the new trailer for Halo, the first-person shooter video game.
It’s just like a scene from an action movie with nice visual effects. The video tells the story of a young man that lost his father in the ‘Halo-war’ and now he wants revenge..

I like the evolution that the promotion of video games isn’t just some images from the game itself, but they take it a step further..
