You'll never guess what game this commercial is for!

Gothic Girl | February 06, 2008 | Video | Misc 
Game commercials really need to start reflecting the games they are advertising. Why? Because it's ever-so disappointing when you get hooked into a gaming commercial, only for it to end like this one ...


With its B-movie sci-fi flair and tongue-in-cheek delivery, this video looks like it might be an ad for Destroy All Humans, but it's not.

We won't give away the ending, but we virtually guarantee you'll never see it coming.

    What the ... Damn! They think people would buy it because of this ad? And there was me thinking it was some serious business.

    You've got to be kidding >_> Though it was easy to guess when you hovered over the video, links to other Poker Smash came up... though I was like "no it can't be" and then... he told us >_>

    Well irony at its best. But i say it fit perfectly, both the game and the commercial suck. So it goes hand in hand

    And I half-expected Rick Astley to popu p onto the screen and start singing "Never Gonna Give You Up".

    This is quite possibly the worst promo I've seen yet.

    If they're gonna pull something like that, they might as well make it funny.

    WTF? I really didn't see that coming >_>

    It made no sense...

    Really crap advertising....The type of people that would be drawn to it (Sci fi fans, possibly western action/movie fans) would not likely be interested in buying a poker game....
