Both features sword wielding characters doing battle, but Upton’s ad looked like a trailer for a fourth Hobbit movie, and most of the footage shown in Neeson’s ad looked like it could be a from a new Pixar feature. While supermodel Upton donning battle armor was certainly eye-catching, it’s Neeson’s Taken-inspired “Revenge” ad that was the more memorable spot, and one of the better commercials of the night, as it turns out.īut the fact remains, both commercials did very little to actually show what either game was about. I was under the impression that Game of War’s Kate Upton commercial would be the most prominent video game ad of the night, but Supercell kept their Liam Neeson-starring Clash of Clans commercial a secret until it aired.

Clash of Clans and Game of War are currently the #1 and #2 highest grossing games on Apple and Google’s app stores respectively (both are free to download, but feature in-game mictrotransactions), and will likely only increase their revenue after a pair of memorable Super Bowl commercials.
