This isn’t the first car manufacturer to implement a video game into their ad campaign, but this one was done damn good. Spy Hunter was one of my favorite games growing up, I mean how could you argue against the greatness of a car that turned into a boat?

Pontiac took the classic Spy Hunter game, complete with catchy song and incorporated it into their new commercial for the new G8 GT. This is right up there with the Toyota World of Warcraft commercial if not better. My favorite part has to be where the car spins out on the oil slick, I used to love to drop the oil and the smoke to mess up the enemies.

This just goes to show how important and iconic video games have become, they are becoming vehicles to help sell and promote things other than video game consoles. Can’t wait to see video game commercials for selling your house, perhaps an EA Sims themed commercial?
