SUMMARY
Realistic, military themed first-person shooter video games were popular but gamers were tiring of their formulaic approach. Enter Bulletstorm, the new over-the-top sci-fi shooter as far from authentic as it gets. To generate buzz and differentiate Bulletstorm in the category, we created a down loadable video game called Duty Calls that lampooned every cliche the genre was known for - positioning Bulletstorm as the antidote. Duty Calls was downloaded over 3 million times, related videos viewed 4.6 million times and 150 articles written about it on gaming and culture websites.
