1. A method for establishing an impression area for an advertisement in a video game environment, comprising: accessing an advertisement stored in memory, the advertisement accessed via an end-user client device,executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of instructions by a processo
1. A method for establishing an impression area for an advertisement in a video game environment, comprising: accessing an advertisement stored in memory, the advertisement accessed via an end-user client device,executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of instructions by a processor: renders the advertisement within a video game environment,determines a first viewing angle relative to a surface normal of the advertisement,determines a second viewing angle relative to the surface normal of the advertisement, anddetermines a surface vector, the surface vector comprising a unit length from the advertisement surface; andestablishing the impression area as the area between the first viewing angle and the second viewing angle, bounded by the surface vector. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first angle and the second angle have a common angular value. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the advertisement includes simulated printed media. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the advertisement includes full motion video. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the advertisement includes audio media. 6. The method of claim 1, further including generating an advertising impression when a game character located within an impression area has an unobstructed line-of-sight path to the advertisement. 7. The method of claim 6, further including tracking the advertising impression. 8. The method of claim 6, further including receiving feedback relating to the advertising impression. 9. The method of claim 1, further including tagging the advertisement within the impression area to indicate that advertising content may be embedded within the tagged location. 10. The method of claim 9, further including tracking a tagged advertisement within the impression area. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising: identifying an obstruction between a game character in the video game environment and the advertisement, the obstruction at least partially located in the impression area;determining an obstruction area based on the obstruction, wherein line-of-sight from the obstruction area to the advertisement is at least partially obstructed by the obstruction; andredefining the impression area to exclude the obstruction area from the impression area. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the obstruction comprises an object in the video game environment. 13. A system for establishing an impression area for an advertisement in a video game environment, comprising: an advertising server configured to store advertising content for downloading by an end-user client device, the advertising content including metadata associated with defining parameters of an impression area; andan end-user client device configured to: access the advertising server to download advertising content, andprocess the metadata, wherein processing the metadata establishes the impression area. 14. The system in claim 13, wherein the parameters of the impression area include a first viewing angle relative to a surface angle of an advertisement, a second viewing angle relative to a surface angle of the advertisement, and a surface vector. 15. The system in claim 13, wherein the advertising server tracks the number of times an advertisement has been downloaded to the end-user client device. 16. The system in claim 13, wherein the advertising server receives feedback relating to the number of impressions generated for the advertisement. 17. The system in claim 13, wherein the advertising server: recognizes a tagged asset within the video game environment, anddelivers advertising content to the tagged asset. 18. The system in claim 13, wherein the advertising server: receives advertising impression information relating to a tagged asset located within the video game environment, andaggregates the impression information from the end-user client device. 19. The system in claim 13, further comprising a payment processing center configured to process a payment when an advertising impression is generated. 20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for establishing an impression area for an advertisement in a video game environment, the method comprising: accessing an advertisement stored in memory,rendering the advertisement within a video game environment,determining a first viewing angle relative to a surface normal of the advertisement,determining a second viewing angle relative to the surface normal of the advertisement,determining a surface vector, the surface vector comprising a unit length from the advertisement surface; andestablishing the impression area as the area between the first viewing angle and the second viewing angle, bounded by the surface vector.
