Walmart sells more video games than any other retailer. Last year for Madden 09, we created a "Smack Talk" rivalry between two gamers named Nick and Steve. The spot was a huge hit virally. This year for the intro of Modern Warfare, we brought back the guys, but added even more content including Office-style back stories for each. I directed the three virals shown here with Brian Aldrich through Furlined.
