What has become widely recognized as the most eventful year in video game history, 2011 has finally come to an end. But not without leaving behind a vast array of marketing material just as memorable as the games they represent. Take a moment to think about 2011′s biggest, most influential games and you may be surprised with what your memory digs up. When remembering “Batman: Arkham City”, what comes to mind? Is it the impressively smooth graphics and stunning gameplay, or the unbelievable character images posted on every other billboard around town? How about heavy hitter, “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3?” Won’t its hilarious, “The Vet & The n00b” marketing campaign stick out more than its very expected single player story line and multiplayer features? This is no accident, but rather well-executed marketing strategies that have become more influential with every passing year. Here at TGI we’ve compiled last year’s best, most original, and most exciting marketing material.
Welcome to the 1st annual TGI Awards…
