Blizzard has released two new tv spots in the same vein as earlier spots with Mr. T and William Shatner. The new spots feature Ozzy Osbourne and Steve van Zandt of The Sopranos.

Ozzy Osbourne's been the Prince of Darkness since 1979 -- too bad Arthas is poised to steal the throne. In a series of nationally televised ads, Ozzy and Steve van Zandt want to know: "What's your #!@? Game?"

Watch the Ozzy Spot, and the Steve Van Zandt Spot.

For some reason I just don't think Ozzy, Mr. T or most of the ''famous'' peeps in the comercials actually play WoW, but they sure landed one hell of a marketing scheme I'll give blizz that much.

I don't know about the others but it is a fact that Bill Shatner is a WoW player.

Sorry but many celebs who you wouldn't think of playing WoW, does play it.

 

It's a mmorpg where both the cheerleader, the quarterback, and the geeky IT boy, could be playing together, without knowing, WoW is a social hub.

And btw I saw their ads, they are dull and unfun, ZOMG Mr T doing an add for a toon, how funny, cool and extreme!

Come on fanbois...
