If only these guys decided to play the cooperative Spec Ops mode in Modern Warfare 2, instead of trash talking each other, perhaps there wouldn't have been a "snow mobile accident."  Wal-Mart is running a set of ads that feature the duo and the game, and for the most part, they are pretty entertaining.

But seriously, does anyone trash talk like this?

When promoting a video game to young men, nothing grabs their attention like porn stars. In the short advertisement for the four player co-op Fairytale Fights, there's even something for the ladies, namely Ron Jeremy.  I kid...I kid.

The advertisement, which is probably the first of many, is filled with poetic words, sexy costumes, and sexual promise between the ladies.  What it's not filled with is gameplay.  There's a whole 3 seconds of that, and if you blink, you just might miss it.  Despite the acting pedigree and costumes in the video, the video is fairly harmless.

Fairytale Fights is out on October 27th for the 360 and PS3.

While Uncharted 2: Among Thieves might have three different co-op modes, most players are going to pick it up for it's incredibly engaging story and single player.   Not only is the game beautiful, it's entertaining and has incredibly high production values.

The latest PlayStation 3 commercial though gives us a good idea for a Co-Op Couples article.  You see, Jason Melvin's girlfriend is so enthralled with what's on the screen in Uncharted 2, she actually thinks it's a movie.  But Jason, now that you have her on the couch, why not fire up the game's co-op mode and play a little bit together?  You can even eat the popcorn while you are waiting to be revived after dying!

Remember that awesome live action Halo 3: ODST trailer we posted?  Bungie has just released some behind the scenes footage of it, and you are going to be shocked at how much work can go into two minutes of film.  

I wonder what they do with all the old ODST armor when they are done with it?

Do deep, theological sentences stimulate your intellect?  What about people punching each other in extreme slow motion?  Do you like fighting games?  If you answered yes to any of the above questions then Tekken 6's viral campaign called "What Will You Fight For?" promises to make you a very happy individual.  

The campaign promises to spread onto everyone's favorite social media tool, Twitter.  What exactly will it entail?  I'm not sure but I've been promised an upcoming video has girls in bikinis so it can't be all that bad.  Sadly, as of now, Kangaroos in Boxing gloves are missing.

 Remember when we told you about Heidi Klum dancing around in her bra and panties to sell Guitar Hero: World Tour?  Right, how could you forget.  Activision is going to continue their underwear crusade to help sell their Guitar Hero franchise, and this time they've gotten another model to help out.

Activision has enlisted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model Marisa Miller to strip on down and dance around melting faces in the next batch of Guitar Hero: World Tour commercials.  It's painfully obvious Lucifer himself is running the company, so perhaps this kind of advertising is no surprise in this case.  

We've got a picture of Marisa in action in front of the green screen (semi-NSFW),  perhaps we are no better than Bobby at all.

With 8 player co-op title Resistance 2 a short few weeks away, the marketing campaign has kicked up in a BIG way.  The above picture is for a building size ad for the game featured in download Los Angeles.  Luckily no office workers were harmed in the making of said ad, though a few screamed in fear before having their morning coffee.

Gotta say, that's one of the more innovative ads I've seen.  That giant Leviathan is actually a boss in the game players must take down; though it's not known whether or not he makes an appearance in co-op play.
