The Biggest Games Release Ever?

The game that has been hyped up and billed as the most successful game of recent times has an interesting TV spot that draws you in hook, line and sinker!



The advert has been on TV a lot over the last two weeks and everyday since the game has been released all I have heard was record breaking sales figures, positive reviews and die hard gamers announce how amazing the game is on Facebook/Twitter. Sometimes a product does not need any marketing at all, but even this gem had a cool TV spot featuring a rap from Eminem, an interesting digital campaign with a lot of online buzz about its features and millions of pounds worth of PR from the press. COD 4:Modern Warfare 2 makes it look so very easy but it is certainly not.

Your Borough/Town/City on Social Media



I have seen a few of these Twitter pages recently but I now feel compelled to blog this! Various London towns and boroughs have their own twitter profiles. This is really interesting and shows how far social media has come when you have a Stroud Green or Brixton Twitter page. The pages seem to be managed quite well and have around 100 followers each. This is an interesting way to keep people who live or work in those specific areas up to date with all the latest news. Although, it could be annoying if your town is a crime filled hate zone where you can't even go to your nearest Tesco’s without dodging a hail of bullets or getting jumped by a group of 14 year olds in hoodies and armed with kitchen utensils. I don't live in N4 and I have no affiliation to North London but if Haringay council want to buy me a free pad in N4 (in the trendy part of course not amongst the riff raff) I will be happy to accept!
