Free Idea: Survival Horror Ad Campaign

Just like before--sometimes I have ideas that I can't do a thing with. So rather than let them fester in my cranium, I have decided to release them into the wild. And there's not much wilder than here among you, my caffeinated friends.

So. Here we go.

I came up with the concept first and then tried to find the video game to apply it to. I went with Silent Hill V. Now, if that doesn't work for you, then apply it to whatever survival horror game you wish.

It's a Family Game

I'd heard this sampled on UNKLE's album, but hadn't seen the original. It's even better.

I'd just like to point out that this game actually belongs on this list. Remember, May will be here sooner than you think.

EA to Take-Two: No More Mr. Nice-Megacorp
Posted on 03.13.08 by Doc @ 10:14 am

EA's buyout offer to Take-Two has gone hostile. The software titans, having been rebuffed on a more congenial buyout offer, has gone with a straight offer to shareholders at $26/share...they're attempting to just buy controlling interest out via the open market. Despite the timing, this deal isn't just (or even mostly) about Take-Two/Rockstar's marquee Grand Theft Auto franchise, whose fourth (or sixth or eighth, depending on how you count 'em) installment is just around the corner. I suspect, as do others, that GTA is a smokescreen and a nice bonus from EA's perspective in this deal. The real juicy acquisition is T2's competing sports franchises. If EA sews up this deal, they will be the sole licensed purveyor of video games based on any and all professional and collegiate sports. So now all you basketball and hockey fans can come to know the agony that the football side of the house has struggled with since EA got cozy with the NFL. Further analysis after the jump.
