Splat! Ads in Violent Games Recalled Better

MIT Tech Review: "A team of European and U.S. researchers found ads displayed along with violent scenes to be more memorable to players than those shown with nonviolent content, even though players spent less time looking at them."

"Those who played a violent version of the game, where the goal was to run down pedestrians, resulting in a blood-splattered screen, demonstrated significantly better recall of advertised brands than those who played the regular version."

 Told you someone should've put up billboards in that airport in Modern Warfare II.
