Maybe I just have very little patience for
creepy gadget commercials, but I still have to say: What were these marketing people thinking putting faces on thumbs?! I get a cold shiver for every pair of faces that appear on rapidly typing thumbs, but maybe I'm just a baby. What do you think?
After being given the chance to be a music-making kitty cat in Wii Music for the Wii, my
first impressions of the game were pretty positive. But as much as strumming, stroking, and striking my Wiimote and Nunchuck to simulate instrumental music can be, I wasn't overly thrilled about the lack of competitive edge. I'm all about fun games without competition, but similar to
the rest of you, it's rewarding when you get points (even if it is for getting a few keys correct).
Can you guess whose voice this is promoting the new
BlackBerry Storm? Hint: This isn't his first time voicing a geeky commercial.
I happened to catch this commercial while watching the
AMAs, and I had no idea that this famous female was taking part in HP's "headless" commercial series. She starts off by saying "My computer is like a virtual autobiography . .
I've already had the chance to see
Personal Trainer: Cooking in action, so I know just how convenient and handy it can be for novice chefs like myself. In an upcoming commercial for Nintendo, Lisa Kudrow uses Personal Trainer: Cooking to show her niece how to make Kung Pao chicken. Thanks to the software's voice activated instructions, you can easily move through the instructions without having to touch anything, as you'll see Lisa utilizing in the video below.
RIM's first BlackBerry Storm commercial
debuted about a month ago, and now the networks that will be carrying this powerful smartphone — Verizon in the US and Vodafone in the UK — have released their hot new Storm commercials. Although the US version hasn't made its full-fledged debut (hence, the low-vid quality), you can still get a feel for what BlackBerry's first touchscreen phone will be all about. And if you didn't hear, it's supposed to hit store shelves
by the end of this month!
I'm loving this new lineup of Risky Business-inspired
Guitar Hero World Tour commercials! A few weeks ago we saw Kobe Bryant, Tony Hawk, Michael Phelps, and Alex Rodriguez
get down and dirty for the commercial. And this week?
Remember back in May, when David Archuleta and David Cook of
American Idol rocked out in their tighty-whities to
Old Time Rock N' Roll for Guitar Hero? Well Activision Publishing is back in full force with their latest installment of their "Risky Business"-inspired Guitar Hero ads; a new commercial for
Guitar Hero World Tour, which hits stores today. Directed by Brett Ratner, the commercial features big sports stars jamming — like Kobe Bryant (on the mic), Tony Hawk (on the drums) and Michael Phelps and Alex Rodriguez (on the guitar).
Who knew America Ferrera was all about the bling? While getting brainy with Brain Age, America battles a pal to see who can complete the math portion quicker (and find out who has a younger brain) in this upcoming spot for Nintendo. I love how she has pimped out her metallic rose DS with all that bling — how geek chic!
In a series of commercials that will start airing this week, we'll get to see
Carrie Underwood racing against some pals with Mario Kart, and get another peek at Liv Tyler playing with her silver DS. Since the DS' wireless connectivity allows you to play with friends, Liv and a pal get competitive playing one of my favorite commute titles,
Mystery Case Files: Millionheir, in this exclusive look at the upcoming commercial!
