Nyko Christmas - Advertisement Review

It's no easy task advertising your video game accessories. Game publishers have it easy; they can use artwork and screenshots to get their message across. But what's a company like Nyko supposed to do? You can only do so much with your joystick, hip clips, and neon game holders before it's just the same advert every month. Apparently it's even harder to make a good advertisement during the Christmas months, because this Nyko advert is nothing short of a disaster!

As funny a it sounds, this commercial is literally a collage of all the products featured in past episodes of the Commercial Break. From controls to snake lights, this Christmas tree is packed with products we've made fun of before. And hey, is that the Blob Light?? It is, it is!! And you thought we would never have another chance to make fun of the single worst video game accessory of all time. I mean really, how can we keep something as ridiculous as the Blob Light down?

But beyond the fact that all this creates a hideous looking tree, it also defies gravity! Just how is that purple control pad on the right staying on the tree? That thing is HUGE, and it's just kind of resting on some branches. It looks like it's going topple over at any time and squish that Blob Light. Or maybe it's just floating. It's a holiday miracle! I would say this is the worst thing Nyko has ever done, but it's hard to be so sure of that when they are reminding me of the Blob Light.
