Yeah, if you ever get to actually see them on TV. The only time I happen to come across VG commercials is during football with the exception of the occasional Gears of War 2 commercial on main networks.

They are getting really good. The first GeOW commercial was amazing.

Recent game ads seem to be including really bad music. Far Cry 2 is the only one I recall right now though.

I thought the Fallout 3 ad was interesting, as the voice-over says "available now for xbox 360 and games for windows" but no mention of PS3.

I was watching Comedy Central tonight and there were TONS of video game commercials - sometimes 3 different ones in a single commercial break. LittleBigPlanet, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty, Shaun White Snowboarding, Rayman Ravin Rabbids (that was a weird one), Mirror's Edge... That was all just during The Daily Show and Colbert Report.

I haven't seen that one. The one I saw was a bunch of people sticking their butts in each other's faces, apparently to make the point that you can play the new Rabbids games with your butt (using the Wii Fit thing).
