This is an interesting idea for a game. Capcom have made Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor look very real and there are a few twists too. This is a world without the semiconductor thanks to a microbe that started eating them all. The knock-on effect is that technology stagnates in some areas but continues in others […]
Classic and freaky PlayStation ads from Dimitri Daniloff
Dimitri Daniloff works in advertising and photography. He originally started off studying Mathematics and Science but at the tender age of 26 – he was given a camera. That changed his life. Based in Paris, France, Dimitri has worked on some famous marketing campaigns. The photographer recently shared some of his infamous and somewhat surreal […]
Can you date the toys?
Intel, the chip people, have Project Monument going over at MSN at the minute. It’s a campaign that lets people reminisce over their favourite stuff. Think of the Facebook timeline – but in the traditional horizontal and focused on things that you remember fondly. Monuments, perhaps, momentos certainly. I’ve had fun trying to guess the […]
Standards body rules against Activision
In the United Kingdom the ASA is celebrating 50 years of helping to enforce legal, decent, honest and truthful advertising. Today they ruled against Activision and adverts for Call of Duty Elite.

Sponsored Video: Galaxy Note PS – my thoughts
This post contains an advert video from Samsung for the Galaxy Note. I decided to post it because I think the Note is worth talking about. I’m just back from The Gadget Show Live and one of my main observations was that the iPhone was hardly insight. To be clear, the iPad was everywhere and […]
Disney actually produce a moe anime
American animation megagiant Disney have shocked Japan. Not only have they produced an anime feature; they’ve produced a moe anime feature and done it well.

Making of Mass Effect 3’s “Take Earth Back” trailer
After The Walking Dead aired on AMC last night, Electronic Arts ran a TV ad for Mass Effect 3. It was called “Take Earth Back” and seems to have been designed to appeal to gamers as well as non-gamers. If you’ve played the demo then you know you have three options at the start which […]
Sponsored Video: FutureScapes and the future of CSR
If you’re not familiar with the acronym CSR then let me tell you there’s a debate as to whether that is a good thing or not. CSR stands for Corporate Social Responsibility and it represents companies thinking about their responsibility to communities, to nature and even the future. It may be good that you’ve never […]
The Samsung SSD Angels ambush
If someone in the street stopped you and asked whether or not your laptop used a hard drive what would your response be? Okay, let’s just say the hard drive ambush develops along the lines of; “Yeah, hard drives are really slow. Give me your laptop, we’ll ditch your old hard drive and replace it […]
Dubstep Voltron for MetLife
This advert caught my attention for a whole host of reasons. I’m no fan of dubstep except when it’s assocaited with some pretty awesome YouTube dancing. Colour me surprised when it is Voltron who walks over the hill and begins to dance. That’s quirky. The video finishes with a call to action for Facebook.com/metlife. Can’t […]
