22/01/2008 Phil Elliott of GamesIndustry.biz writes: An in-game advertising campaign run by Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) last year in two Tom Clancy videogames prompted a 500 per cent increase in activity on the related recruitment web site, it has been revealed. The campaign, which featured billboards advertising careers at GCHQ in Ubisoft titles Splinter Cell: Double Agent and Rainbow Six: Vegas, ran for a month and was managed by TMP Worldwide, according to a report in Recruiter. Kate Clemens, head of GCHQ's digital strategy at TMP, stated that she felt the campaign had been successful as a general profile-raising exercise, with traffic increasing from around 500-600 people per day visiting the Careers in British Intelligence site to between 4000 and 7000.
Times and The Guardian report on October 18, 2007: The Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the surveillance arm of British intelligence services, will this month embed advertisements into popular video games such as Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent to attract young recruits who are computer-savvy, technologically-able, quick-thinking. The advertisements will appear as billboards and be fed into games being played on personal computers and Xbox 360 that are connected to the Internet.
Quite a well populated list. There's no real way anyone can complain about this week's releases. Unless you're a European The Darknees fan. Don't forget, though. If there's a game that's only available in another region, then feel free to import it. Your PlayStation 3 won't care. Release dates are subject to constant change, so give your local game shop a ring before walking down there.
