Avergame: Can power slide park your Mini Racer?

// September 3rd, 2008 // No Comments » // media/communication

Mini has launched a advergame called Power Slide Parking. The user needs to successfuly navigate the racer and park it in the right parking place.

The graphics and music are fantastic but in terms of a game its very basic and lacks stickiness. I played a few rounds and quickly became bored, pity cause it could have been a real winner.

Advergame: Coke Zero - Trust your Buds

// August 31st, 2008 // 1 Comment » // media/communication

Coke Zero launched a advergame called Trust your Buds. In this game you need to make the two main characters, two pink and slimy tongues, jump around collecting various items until the bottle is found.

The game looks easy but is more challenging than initially assumed. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. In terms of graphics and entertainment its very well executed.

On a side note, I find the tongues phenomenally gross, they are weird but in this respect are very catchy.

Advergame: The Paper Baron - A Suggestion

// August 30th, 2008 // No Comments » // media/communication

Yesterday I wrote about a very well executed online game called the Paper Baron, which I have repeatedly kept playing.

It occurred to me that the game lacks a KEY feature that could have increased its user base significantly. The game does not allow you to save your high scores or create groups in which you can compete. In short, the game unfortunately stopped mid way focusing only on the individual user and not expanding its usability for peers and social networks. I truly believe that this simple tweak in the game would make a serious difference in terms of its longevity and peer promotion.

In this regard they might have even considered a prize for a national competition awardinga free flight in a F-16 or something related to the air force which is not a every day activity.

In any case, the Mighty V has challenged us all by stating his “high score” on the previous Paper Baron post and very confidently saying “beat that”.  Unfortunately we can not be sure that this score is true and not just a mere figment of his imagination.
