    The Games:

    Three iOS games big enough to have commercials play during the Super Bowl; Game of War, Clash of Clans and Heroes Charge.

    The Quick Look: Running time: 28:13, starring Drew Scanlon and Jeff Gerstmann.

    To begin, Drew shows us and Jeff, who hasn't seem them before, the ads in question. Jeff questions who Kate Upton is and Drew describes her as a "professional pretty lady". Drew says he enjoyed the Liam Neeson commercial.

    The first two games are very similar games with the mobile game-standard energy meters and micro-transactions. Drew tries to explain to the best of his ability all of these different systems and currencies while Jeff tries to wrap his head around all the flashing lights vying for his attention. In each of the games, Drew launches an attack on an enemy player before moving on.

    The third game, Heroes Charge, is instead more of a tactical real-time game with RPG elements. Drew goes more in depth with his explanations of this game's abilities and levelling system and expresses his appreciation for the game, citing its light strategy. Jeff says he thinks it would make an okay handheld game with the micro-transactions removed.

    The only thing I'd expand upon is what the commercials in question were for, in relation to the spokesperson (Kate Upton - Game of War; Liam Neeson - Clash of Clans). Did he show the Heroes Charge commercial? I might have spaced out.

    I didn't remember that, either. He probably addressed it, but there was a longer period between viewing and writing for this one. It was a weird quick look in a lot of ways!

    @eccentrix: Just seemed like they forgot about it/moved on. Drew said they had all the commercials loaded up on the phone, but they didn't show that last one for some reason. Oh well, was a good QL!

    Drew actually showed the Heroes Charge commercial. He just didn't call it out really and wasn't that crazy of a commercial like the other two. Had some CG characters and a couple of seconds of actual gameplay before fading out.
