    I'm surprised you all find the Gears of War advertisements "useless". Yes, it doesn't accurately showcase the game and it's fast paced action, gory head shots, and disturbingly brutal curb stomps, it catches your attention and intrigues you to buy the game and see what it's all about. To put it in perspective for you; anyone who enjoys the Gears of War series probably felt like shooting up some locust for no apparent reason after watching the video(I know I sure did).

    Hmmm. *Spoiler* I thought Marcus looked kinda pensive when Tie shot himself.

    I think the GOW commercial are the best game commercials out there IMO

  • killemall - March 20, 2009 3:02 p.m.

    but i LOVED the sonic and knuckles commercial. I thought it was cute in a way... maybe i am retarded... I agree on the Halo one though... how craptastic. Also was that brad renfro in japan?

    HEYYYYYYY. YOU LOOK LIKE A REAL JERK "Well, I do like to place discrete spoiler tags right next to sensitive story elements, so that haughty, spoiler-prone readers barely have time to go 'wut?' before they consume the information contained in my post most excessively." OH NO YOU AIN'T. YER GONNA PLAY POLE POSITIOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

    I liked the Gears of War commercials. It was all about the destroyed beauty of the world around them. So while it wasn't showing Marcus cutting trough a Locust's rib cage it showed the more emotional side of the story.
