Game Review: Populous DS
The first Popolous game that I played was Populous III: The Beginning. This game introduced the series to a 3D world. I absolutely loved the game. Since then I’ve seen plenty of gameplay footage of the first game and I will honestly say that now that I’ve played the DS remake, I didn’t miss out on much.

Red Alert 3 – REMIX, an Official trailer to Laugh at
Continuing from yesterday’s post about the Fallout 3 PR campaign being absolutely abstract, Electronic Arts has released a new Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 trailer that begs the question of: what were they smoking?
While I totally did enjoy the REMIX video, I have to say that this came out of left field. Usually marketing campaigns stick to an idea and expand on it over time. This trailer seemed as if an editor was bored at 3am and decided to spice things up.
I still can’t wait for Red Alert 3. If it can maintain this over the top, campy feeling, it may just be one of the best games of the year.
Spore’s Miniature Billboard’s So Small, You Need a Telescope!
EA’s definitely gone for some innovative marketing when it comes to Spore! This billboard, located in San Francisco’s Union Square is so small, you need a telescope to see it! They probably resisted the urge to make it microscopic, if you ask me.
The billboard is of a miniature size 14″ by 6″, and as you can probably guess, not very visible to the naked eye. EA has, therefore, cut your cost of buying a new telescope by adding one of their own:
I particularly like that telescope more than anything else. Cool sea blue, smooth and sexy (almost phallic, we might say) and totally awesome-looking. There’s no reason why EA shouldn’t be selling that; people will buy that!
Since a trip to San Francisco might a bit too much for viewing EA’s advertising expertise, check out what the billboard actually looks like below. And don’t be such a snob: donate some, goddamit! There are microorganisms dying for your DNA!
