Blocking access to Super Bowl viewers, CBS has apparently rejected this new TV spot for EA’s upcoming game Dante’s Inferno. But today I read that EA will get it’s way – after changing the tag line at the end to “Hell Awaits.” Blur Studio animated the ad.

It’s not dissimilar from the TV spot Psyop did for the game about a year ago:

In related news, Film Roman is releasing a 2D-animated DVD based on the game in a few weeks. You can see a trailer for Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic here.

This stop-motion spot for Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars reminds me of Patrick Boivin’s work, but he just released a new viral short today, so I suspect this wasn’t his work. TvC is a new video game due out on January 26th for the Wii. The agency on the job was Ammirati. I’m still digging around trying to figure out who animated the stop-motion. The animation was produced by ffake in Portland, with Jeff Riley directing and animating and Paul Golden at the producer controls.

Picking up where they left off in October, the Ubisoft Rabbids fail yet again in a space launch attempt. In this effort, titled Space Ship, they’re promoting the Rabbids Go Home game, which launched in November.

Director Tim Ruffle, who is represented by Aardman Animations, helmed a whole series of animated viral spots for Nintendo Europe. They’re promoting Flipnote Studio, which lets Nintendo DSi users create short films. The agency on the gig was 77PR.

The team at Paris-based Fortiche Production produced this little promo for the Wii game Academy of Champions, which released on November 3rd. It’s by Ubisoft.

Return of Alice is the upcoming sequel to American McGee’s Alice, the 3rd-person PC game released in 2000. The Spicy Horse game isn’t due out until 2011, but a teaser has emerged. This stop-motion piece was pitch created by Troy Morgan (Song of the Mermaid) aimed at the EA team.

Back in June, we wrote up the new Rayman Raving Rabbids game – Rabbids Go Home. Here’s a new spot, titled Failed Attempts – UFO, which promotes the Nintendo Wii game, which was developed by Ubisoft and is available on November 5th 2009.
