landmarks flash on the screen followed
by Axl Rose’s voice blaring is all the
fun and games referred to in the song
are displayed in all their glory
guns blazing gangsters and cops duking
it out
car crashes galore strippers dancing and
stuff blowing up it really is a jungle
out there
grand theft auto san andreas number
eight mortal monday mortal kombat it was
a monday so monumental it needed a
commercial that matched the intensity of
the product enter mortal monday all four
versions of the original Mortal Kombat
were released simultaneously as people
flocked to stores to engage in some
gruesome fights and witnessed some
fatalities
the commercial depicts people of all
ages running in the streets while the
infamous roar fills our ears they end up
gathered around a building to catch
glimpses of the fighting gameplay as if
they were at a rock concert
fun fact The Mortal Kombat screen used
in this commercial was later used in the
Mortal Kombat movie as part of the theme
song which was arguably the best thing
to come out of that movie
number seven could you be the last of us
the last of us could you tell friend
from foe there’s something heartbreaking
above his live-action commercial from
2013’s most memorable title The Last of
Us Ally scripting narration guides the
viewer through the commercial as it
switches between gameplay footage and
real life actor shown in time-lapse
video as he gets scruffier and dirtier
ultimately transforming into CGI Joel
the game’s protagonist if a loved one
was infected could you do the right
thing as the transformation completes
and our heroes are left running for
their lives
the title of the game is dropped in the
form of a poignant question could you be
the Last of Us number 6 cut you down
blood-borne
sometimes it’s not only about the
footage being shown in the video having
the perfect song to accompany what the
viewer sees adds to the overall appeal
of the product such as the case for
blood-borne and its commercial cut you
down by the black epic gameplay and a
perfectly chosen song transport the
audience to the game’s world guiding
them through the dark corners filled
with the most twisted macabre creatures
imagined
lucky for us the hunter displays his
skill and his arsenal of weapons as he
wait for it cuts them down one by one
number five believe halo 3 simple
beautiful epic halo 3 brought the goods
with it’s believed advertising campaign
a sorrowful song gently weeps as the
viewer is transported through stills of
epic war between Marines and brutes in
reality it’s only a diorama a miniature
model depicting the great human covenant
war as well as john-117 s aka Master
Chief’s great sacrifice
every horrific act of war is caught in
absolute stillness that is until the
camera zooms out on a certain plasma
grenade held by a certain Master Chief
number four from ashes god of war
ascension next up on our list is another
live-action gem this time transporting
the viewer to ancient Greece Spartans
are seen marching to war as a little
girl escapes her mother’s side running
through the soldiers and up a hill to
meet with a Spartan captain her father
Kratos
as he lifts his jubilant daughter
everything comes crashing down quite
literally as she withers away into ashes
that cover his pale body turning him
into the Ghost of Sparta
those who know the God of War lore will
know the significance of all this but
everyone can agree that it all looks
pretty awesome
number three there is a soldier in all
of us call of duty black ops the last
thing you’d expect to see in a war-torn
battlefield is a pair of heels and a
purse scratch that Jimmy Kimmel with a
bazooka is actually the last thing we’d
expect to see the makers of call of duty
black ops provide one of the most
awesome commercials you’ll ever see
ordinary people roam the streets with
high-tech weapons and gadgets as they
participate in massive warfare
stars like the aforementioned Kimmel and
Kobe Bryant are featured prominently
throughout just like in Call of Duty
anyone can join in on the fun and look
like a badass even lowly dinner cooks
number two Michael playstation3 there
will man broke through Michael soldiers
are dropped down and enter a building
where they’re greeted by a hostess they
provide payment leave their guns at the
door and head inside for a video game
fans wet dream live-action versions of
beloved characters sharing drinks and
conversation next thing I know planes
going down Nathan Drake relates one of
his awesome adventures to lightning Cole
MacGrath shows off his good side as Old
Snake mumbles about war no hero but
whatever good I’ve done
a fitting tribute to gamers everywhere
what’s most fun here is trying to name
them all
Michael for all he does for all of us
– Michael
before we reveal our pick for the number
one awesome videogame commercial here’s
a look at some honorable mentions
at first I didn’t know what to think
maybe they just celebrated Halloween
early in this town maybe every day

number one mad world Gears of War around
me are familiar faces worn out places
worn out faces in arguably the best
usage of a licensed song Gears of War
was established as a new triple-a
franchise in one short commercial dreams
in which I’m dying the best in a
destroyed city overrun by sentient
creatures known as the locust our hero
Marcus Fenix escapes an oncoming enemy
and runs into something even more
sinister No – no – it encapsulates the
hopelessness of the world perfectly

their original place in society and

storytelling we really do live in a mad
