Sega Hands Out Electronic Cigarettes to Promote Vanquish

[shane]

 

Sega reps passed around some Vanquish-branded electronic cigarettes as part of the swag promoting their upcoming third-person shooter.* The charger looks like a pack of smokes with a plug on the side so you can stick it right into a wall socket, and the e-cig sits comfortably inside, as seen in the slideshow below.

 

Apparently, cigarettes are actually a useful item in the game, used to distract enemies in much the same way as throwing coins in Hitman: Blood Money or, more recently, Assassin’s Creed II, so I guess it kind of makes a little bit of sense.* And hey, maybe it’ll be just what someone needs to help them quit smoking, even if these things taste like peppermint.* If Duke Nukem ever comes out, they should celebrate with huge cigars and sunglasses… and strippers.

 

Vanquish is set to release for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 19th in the U.S. and October 22nd in Europe and Australia.
