Best video game commercial

[-Seraph-]

My new favourite would have the be the new Final Fantasy Versus 13 trailer, just great

Although the 360 shoot em up advert was pure class.

If that's the one I'm thinking of--the "banned" XBOX commercial, it was indeed full of win.

*bang*

Yeah it's ace, but it's very much a Spaced rip-off.

My favorite is a probably-European commercial that's very NSFW, so I don't know if the mods will let me post a link to it.

I liked the Halo 3 commercials, they all seemed so dramatic, the ones with the old guys are freaking hilarious though.

Wow....I agree....

The TV commercials for BLACK were really good. Very simple and easy to understand at a glance.

My favorite is an old FF7 commercial from when it first came out. It just showed a dude's laundry hamper and how he changed his underwear everyday. Then after he got FF7 he didn't change them for like 5 months!

Also the old PS2 commercial that showed the future Playstation 9 game spores that you inhaled for the ultimate game experience.

I could find that, but this was a proper TV commercial, if only I could download videos from my mind... actually, forget that, don't want to give anyone nightmares.

However, the life on the Playstation campaign comes a lose second

sorry about the quality.

For emotional impact, probably the Halo 3 "Believe" series.

For sheer so-funny-staying-dry-takes-effort impact, Leisure Suit Larry's parody of the Gears of War TV ad.

WOOOOO

Ok yeah so Advent Rising was a flop, but the commercial was pretty awesome.

 

[shatnershaman]

From your name I would've assumed your favorite was Shatner...you know...being a Shaman.

Second favourite. Gears has the advantage of being longer and me actually liking the game in question.

I would have to say...
BioShock's TV Commercial
It had a blend of classic Art Deco feel along with "Beyond the Sea" by Bobby Darin. That commerical got me more addicted to BioShock then a crack addict to... well.. crack.

You guys forget the Meet the Team for TF2, full of darkish humor, are adverts, right? Released near releases of free weekends.

WOOOOO

It's kind of odd yet funny that all the comments for that video are people saying that they absolutely love Advent Rising.

As for me, i'll have to say this ad for Mass Effect was one of my favorites.

the pikmin 2 commercial where all the midgets dressed up as pikmin run around and get the guy a hot dog

My favourite is the Gears of War Mad world commercial because it wasn't the same old look at this flashy trailer kind of ad.

I see your Gears of War Mad World ad, and raise you the Battlefield: Bad Company parody version.
