Better Than the Game? 5 of the Best Video Game Commercials Ever Made

Commercials are made to grab the viewer’s attention and bring awareness to a company’s particular product, and the video game commercial is no different. There are those that use hard boiled action or T&A to thrill, some that use humor to elicit laughter, and those that tug at the heart strings to provoke genuine emotion. Sadly, there are even some that are just way better than the actual game itself.

Whichever the category these following video game commercials fall under, or if the commercial manages to sell the product it's hawking or not, one thing remains true: They are–simply put–awesome.

I'd vote Skyrim, the game was great but the live action commercial was even more amazing.

That one was a great commercial for sure. But if they were going for realism, they should have shown the Dragonborn punching the dragon in the snout, because let's face it, we've all done that at least once. ;)

I made sure to add it to my big list!

The PS3 "Michael" commerical will be one of my favorites forever.

It was the first step that brought the PlayStation ads back to the good old days of "The double Life" http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Gah, another good one. So hard to make a top five sometimes. Poor Pikachu might be losing his place soon if this continues.

NastyLeftHook04276d ago

the god of war commercials, and the battlefield commercials.

This Halo 3 commercial is one of the best I ever seen.

Square Enix Terminates 10,000 FFXIV Accounts Due to RMT

ESTNN writes: "On the eve of FFXIV's highly-anticipated Final Fantasy 15 collaboration event, the developers issued a statement on the game's official forum about the latest wave of player bans."

RMT ruins the economy for people who aren’t paying for in game money. Prices sky rocket for items. They really need to come up with a system that prevents in game money/item sales and still be able to trade items. I’m sure it can be done but the cost to do it is the issue.

One thing I do to combat this is not play.

Remember, dudes, game companies have no issues if you pay money to THEM to "save the time"
But how dare you pay to somebody else.
