Obama Ads on XBOX

Eighteen video games, including the extremely popular "Guitar Hero" and "Madden 09," will feature in-game ads from the Obama campaign in the final weeks before the election. The ads -- appearing on billboards and other signage -- remind players that early voting has begun and plug a campaign Web site that encourages people to register for early voting.

Metal Gear Solid ४ (A Video Game Comments on Our Govt.)

I love the innocuous nature of art today. Ads, Video Games, Street Wear Tees, Cartoons, Packaging...All of these forms of art have a way of affecting the consumer without them realizing it. So the new thing is that the latest version of a VERY popular video game ( Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot, created by Hideo Kojima ) is using parallels to make a statement about American global domination and the struggle for free will...This is not my game– never played it. So please appreciate the fact that I had to read through a VERY aggravating and overwritten article to get the scraps for this post.The characters infiltrate a Middle Eastern Country, Fight an evil military corporation called "The Patriots" and suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Check out the above Image ( left ) of the game and compare to image (right) of actual US troops in Iraq.So fellas (and really cool ladies) next time you're button punching this game keep your eye out for Kojima's hidden message.

YAY GTA!

I know i shouldnt be adding this to my blog, and i know that Grand Theft Auto San Andreas probrably set the black man back like 50 years, and that the treatment of women in the game is foul and I should be concerned that my play nephew owns the game etc etc...but damn all that–this game is HOT!! I'm a grown ass woman that loves playing open end, storyline, video games and GTA is the best one of its kind to date. It's so intricate, It took me 3 months( off and on ) and finally some cheating to get thru the last one...and GTA IV releases tommorrow! Sigh...too bad I still have a Playstation 2, I'm going to have to wink and shimmy at someone to get them to buy me PS3, but until then check out the line we just passed by tonite in Herald Square as they waited for the game to release It was like 10 pm, they don't release till tommorrow and people were camped out....those people were so hype and they were passing out bottles of water, i thought i was at a Limp Bizkit concert!( Ewww Limp Bizkit!).
