    There's a few decent ones in here, like the MGS box one, but, I hate to see it, most of these are kinda weak :/ I think I've not only seen several of these used before, but on this very site.

    I love the shoutout to Wipeout..."DON'T REAR MOUNT - DANGER OF DEATH" haha!

    looks pretty Cracked in here...

    It's too positive for Cracked. If this was Cracked they'd be telling you why everything is rubbish.

    Love this! This is why I come to Gamesradar!

    These were great, thanks for that.

    Haha, nice job Justin! Love the Bayonetta, Mushroom, and Blue shells one in particular. Also that Zelda one made me chuckle, see so many of those adverts these days...

    Thanks :P The Zelda one was actually the first one that came to my mind as the inspiration for the feature. One WEIRD old trick... pick up an ancient sword! Wonder if that's the same for the regular adverts...

    These are fantastic. The Power Stone one could be a real ad for the game. I wish I'd thought of this

    Arrow to the knee security force - for when all those adventurers keep putting kettles on your head and robbing you blind.

    The RE one is now my wallpaper. I <3 GR
