  14. Advertising There are many different ways to advertise a video game; TV, Internet, Magazines and Billboards are some examples. By using televised media the target audience will see the product being used, however they won’t see much of the game, therefore they won’t get an idea about what the game play is like. Advertising our game in magazines would allow the reader to find out more about the game, what it looks like and what other people think about it, and they can do this at their leisure. Using the Internet would also allow the reader to find out about the game, but also to view videos of the game play. To ensure our game reaches the target audience it needs to be advertised on TV channels, magazines and any other media that targets children. By using Covert Advertising we can draw children’s attention to the game if they see it being used by a character on a TV program. This will associate the game with that character and will make the game more desirable.
