Hoover made a series of 3 spots called “Clean Freaks”, aimed at those that obsess over cleanliness. Or in other words, most people’s Mom. And, if they are good enough for a Clean Freak, then they are more than good enough for the rest of us.

So you’re already buying Dante’s Inferno for your platform of choice when it drops in February, as well as the animated epic DVD…so how else can EA get you to part with your hard-earned cash in the name of their hot new IP? Why, through books of course!

Re-releasing Inferno (the first part of Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy) under Random House’s Del Rey label, the book will introduce gamers to the writings of the Italian scholar. It will also confuse gamers when they wonder why the hell Dante’s talking to everyone and not just hacking them apart with his bone scythe. As an added bonus, the book boasts a 16-page full-color insert detailing the creative process of translating a centuries-old poem into a modern blockbuster gaming title.

Wow, now this was cool. 250 extras. A chapel and tuxedo parade. The dress took nearly an hour to put on and then as if that wasn’t bad enough, they made me take it off so the bride could wear it for the spot.

Working on this game was an incredible experience. The cast is top notch and the creative minds behind the scenes, the ones that really make the experience worthwhile are amazing. Oh and in case you’re wondering who I am? I’m the ugly bastard at the end… “You… You did this to me!” FUN!!

We also have an animated film coming out at the same time. So look for that as well.

A fun spot shot during the famed writer’s strike. We all improvised the lines during the auditions and then they basically had us say the same thing during the shoot. Knocked it out in 2 hours and they are still airing it today. Love that.
