Having signed a deal with Blizzard to serve adds in online titles (yes, we're wondering about mead adverts in World of Warcraft) Microsoft's advertising wing, Massive Inc also staged an event yesterday that saw the announcement of several new Activision Blizzard titles.
Titles - none of which will shock - include:
Guitar Hero 5 - apparently, according to MTV, this "included a screen shot of gameplay with a Burger King ad to the right of the note highway."
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - yes, that's right. Modern Warfare 2.
Bizarre Creations is also working on a James Bond driving game as well as a driving game that is apparently "Mario Kart meets Forza". We're not sure what that means either.
A new-style Tony Hawk was also mentioned. More on that later.
So, all of these titles, we have to assume will also feature Massive Inc advertising.

F**king Yanks, capitalist scumbags. But seriously I don't see a problem with ads in games, so long as u don't have to sit through 5 minuites of adverts every 10 minuites of game time like on TV.
