The best game advert this year? certainly

I play video games, quite a lot of them to be fair and when something thats as good as the recently released Modern Warfare 2 comes out, obviously a lot of hype was built up for it, and justifiably so! i got the game on release day, love it. Just brilliant. But what really got me ridiculously hyped up was this following ad. I just thought it fitting to post it, I know a little late, but what’s really great is the way that the music is cut to it and how bloody cinematic it is! What’s up with that? It has really achieved the sense of a Hollywood blockbuster. Watch (IN HD!!) and be amazed.

It’s actually a rather cinematic game, the story has all the hallmarks of an over the top action movie and some great set-pieces like a russian-invaded, derelict and decaying Washington D.C. But for me this trailer signifies a shift, a shift in the way that games are launched and also considered, the massive hype and longing for this game lead to madness, Sainsburys sold it for £26 to massive success, both local branches has completely sold out, about an hour after opening (Yes, I checked). Games are now basically on the same level as any album or film, well Games of this level of anticipation and expected sales. It’s mental, at the end of the day its a machine, but one that looks and plays pretty darn well.

Here’s the Eminem/Nate Dogg song featured in that ad;
