*sigh* first the Mountain Dew "Gamer Fuel" now this....will it ever end?
answer: no

[GameOn]

What's wrong with it. The worst it can do is attract people to gaming and make people money.

Actually thats wrong. it wont attract new gamers just get people to drink un-healthy drinks.

[Cajun Chicken]

Games promotion has hit a whole new low this gen. This never used to happen, give me the old days when things weren't subliminally put into your mind due to promotions and the media.
Sometimes I feel like the lead character in 'They Live' after he puts on the shades.

[NO_PUDding]

It's just they treat it as if the game doesn't matter. Any way to promote it without actual proof of the game. This is how Halo 3 sold like batshit.

Good for them, but I am fine without a game advertised till it's bollocks fall off.

[Rick Astley]

Typical Microsoft.

[SullyDrake]

Why not beer? 1-2 beer a day is proven to be good for you.

[XXXCouture]

"1-2 beer a day is proven to be good for you." lol errrr, right.

[ChrisGTR1]

look, as long as the advertizements are all OUT of the game and in the REAL WORLD then its all good.the gamerfuel and all that was all outside the game advertizements. when a developer stoops so low to put an ipod, some energy drink, and a playboy mag IN GAME as items thats when you know the developers are truly pathetic and have reached a new low in video gaming.

[tatotiburon]

cry all you want, in december GeOW 2 4 millions units sold, R2 hardly 2millions...the no-marketing of sony for their games is not fault of microsoft, they now how to sell games, sony don't, somebody can prove me wrong? just check MGS4 sells and Halo 3 sells

[deeznuts]

XXX, err he is right.

Just because you're not old enough to drink it yet, don't hate on it!

Gotta go crack one right now

[mfwahwah]

@1.8: Why are you bringing Sony into this? Really, tell me. And don't look like a fanboy while you're at it (haha, good luck).

@1.7: Ugh. In game advertisements are usually funny or fit in well with the surroundings. iPod? Used to poke fun at 360 not getting MGS4. Playboy? Funny weapon to use. Calorie Mate? Shameless advertising. I'll give you that one.

[The_Firestarter]

Seems like a pretty cool idea. That limited edition Xbox 360 sounds hot! ;)

[Fux4Bux]

Fenix Juice?

[GameOn]

I don't think it's a hot drink mate.

A disagree? lol, ok how about the slogan "Best served warm!"

[Sitdown]

if Tropic Thunder can have "booty sweat", why not? Hahaha.

[air1]

just give me the frikin game. dont need no damn energy drink. ill have a nice blunt that day. hhmmm now if they did a promo with that....

[OmarJA]

ROFLMMFAO

[Killjoy3000]

This is just honestly pathetic.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Why?

Are Gears Themed Energy Drinks necessary?

Games gonna be cool though, me and my friend had some fun playing coop, should be same with this too.

[SonySoldierEternaL]

this is getting ridiculous

first gaylo 3, now greys of war 1.5

[BlackRaven85]

Add Metal Gear to that list, and Pokemon too.

[Kleptic]

lame or not...I actually loved that Halo 3 Mt. Dew...haha it was awesome with Warhawk...

[air1]

they just do the energy drink thing for the energy to stay on live all night. it's good promo but for ppl that already paid for it like my self dont care about that promo...

edit

@hellan

you see im not the only won that talk garbage look it the idiot above me talk smack on a game that sold over 10 million on 1 console. show some damn respect..

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Yeah, I see your point. But as I said before, I feel inclined to defend my console of choice.

Nothing wrong with that right?

[KiddyBrownTurd]

100% of all "energy" drinks are nothing but NWO cancer drinks.

I feel bad for anyone who drinks this kind of high cancer whoops I mean high fructose corn syrup sh1t on a daily basis, and for anyone NOT getting Gears 2.

pooooor droids

[BlackRaven85]

This kinda reminds me of MGS4 Regain drinks... Thank you, promotional stuff that help sell the game!

I'm pretty sure the stark difference is that Regain doesn't have the MGS4 logo on it.
