Vindictus shows off its TV spot
If you're already a fan of Vindictus, you're not really the target audience for the game's TV spot. Not that you should avoid watching it all the same, though. Who doesn't enjoy the prospect of seeing a game on the small screen? And you can watch it right now! As mentioned, there's not a whole lot to be said if you are a fan of the game, although you can certainly determine how well you think the ad represents the game as a whole. If you're not a player or a fan, though, you can still check out the trailer just past the break to find out what the game's all about. (Hint: hacking at people with swords.)

World of Warcraft continues Mists of Pandaria TV coverage
"The question isn't why we fight," a wizened voice says, "but what's worth fighting for." Thus goes the third TV commercial for World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. Blizzard continues to storm the airwaves in preparation for Pandaria's September 25th release. The commercial is just cobbled together from the opening cinematic, but it's still cool to see an MMO get airtime on television these days. Give it your full and undivided attention after the jump.
New Mists of Pandaria TV commercials
We're getting serious now. Blizzard just announced that Mists of Pandaria has not one, but two TV trailers. You can see them on the official site or over on YouTube. With our arrival on the shores of Pandaria a mere sixteen days away, things are starting to feel serious as the battle between Horde and Alliance gets set to heat all the way up to eleven. Yes, I mixed a ton of metaphors up just then. The spots are basically just clips from the opening cinematic, so don't expect to see anything new, but it does give me that here we go feeling. September 25, we're all waiting. It's open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft's next expansion. Jump into five new levels with new talents and class mechanics, try the new monk class, and create a pandaren character to ally with either Horde or Alliance. Look for expansion basics in our Mists FAQ, or dig into our spring press event coverage for more details!

For a change of pace from all the in-depth Book 12 coverage lately, take a look at the new Lord of the Rings Online TV spot, entitled "Ordinary People". It shows a series of regular people getting ready for a busy day -- but from how they are preparing, it would appear that their busy day could be comprised of things like slaying dragons, saving villagers and traversing Middle-earth. We don't get to see any of this taking place in the real world, but there is some in-game footage in the second half that shows what it's all about.The end of the video provides a link to a promotional website, www.movetomiddle-earth.com, which looks to give some background on the game and show a little more to those whose interest is piqued by the ad.[Via Gamebunny]
