Game Ad Not Quite What You’d Expect (Video)

by Dylan Duarte on February 6, 2008

I know that’s a vague article title, but I just can’t give the surprise away. You have to see this ad for yourself. You may think you know it, but you have no idea.


I think this is probably one of the best ads I’ve seen in recent history, maybe ever. I know it seems bizarre that it has nothing to do with the game in question, but really, what could they have done with it that would have been nearly as entertaining?

    As much as I have no intention of playing the game, that was a brilliant ad.
