Video Game Update

Hello gamers,
Todays post is an update of the smash hit series, Destroy All Humans.

As some of you may or may not know, Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed will be coming out on the Wii in just a few more days (it comes out Feb. 25). As we wait for the game, THQ has decided to try a different form of advertising. They've realease these "leaked" videos on Youtube to try and make some sort of new advertising method. Lets take a look......

What do you guys think? Is it something that would make you want to buy the games? Or do you think they should do advertising the original way? Please make a post with your opinions on the subject.

Next Week- Bioshock review.

Well, that's all for now,
HANG TIGHT GAMERS!!

not interested at all really. but this tybe of viral marketing has worked in the past so i expect all games to be advertised in a similar way these days.

NZ Guy! It's been a while.

I don't find the videos to be that amazing ether. However, if you do send videos like that Youtube, you may be getting a larger crowd of fans.

I'd like to give a little of my own insight, but the computer I'm using is too slow. If I even think of asking it to get on Youtube, it glares at me and pouts in a corner.

Thank you for the on-topic comment, King James.

actually king james's comment was completely off-topic and complaining about his computer...

UC Oddball said...

Ah, of course. King James, thank you for the comment. Sawmoc, do you have any interest in video games? If so, what do you think of the videos?

sawmoc said...

Na I just look through blogs of stuff that doesn't interest me. And no, I don't think these ads will appeal to anyone but fans who were already going to buy the game on release, hence useless.

Ah, that does make good sense. I guess it is better than just putting it on TV though.
