Game adverts...the magazine ones, if you please.

[JoeK]

Whether the game's any cop or not, I don't know (have neither the right specced PC, nor the wherewithall to pick the thing up) but the advert to Max Payne 2 is just lovely.

Well, apart from the titles- which are in completely the wrong sort of font for my liking.

The black and white piccy of Mr Payne with the lady is just great and moody.

And that's the end of that one then.

Anyone have any recollections of any other good gaming ad?

(Can you tell I'm feeling bored? Can you really?)

The Populous one was brilliant

A lot of the older ones tend to be better

Nowdays people try and make them 'hip and dangerous'

The one with Melinda Messenger (think its here) straddling a stool with star fighter 3000 inbetween her legs.

It was Jo Guest.

The Barbarian one with Maria Whittaker and 'Wolf' from Gladiators was good too.

I think it was the resident evil one that had a burred and bloody silouhette and accompanying text along the lines of:

"I just had to wash him out of my hair...... clothes, carpet, nails, eyes... "

Which was quite good.

Also quite liked the 'quake is forever' campaign.

The current F-Zero GX advert is cool, and I do like the "Bat-signal" piss-take for Super Mario Bros 3 on the GBA.

Imagine a picture of a deserted beach with a sunbed in the foreground. The sea just in the background.

"Life's a beach..... and then you play Lemmings on the gameboy"

For some reason that's stuck with me for years.

I thought it was bloody brilliant as well.

The Hitman 2 ads were memorable. If only for being overtly violent.

The 'bath 'o' blood' advert for Resident Evil 2 has that beaten.

Theres several that I really liked.

One was for a snowboarding game, cool boarders I think, which had a poem about powder with loads of drug references.

I also have a soft spot for the command and conquer add "previous high scores" that had pictures of Hitler, Napolean etc on.

I also think a special mention should go to the TV add for some rally game that had the drivers and co-drivers running down the dirt tracks and jumping into ditches. Its very rare to get a good TV add for a game (the machines yes, the games rarely).

I liked that Xbox add when it was first released, the life's too short one. That was class

[timgp]

One of Sony's first Playstation adds simply featuring a photo of a girl and boy looking ready for a night out. No text whatsoever.

On closer inspection, you think, blimey, she's got pert nips! Then you notice he has too, then you see the circle... the triangle... the cross... the square...

I cut that out of Arena and still have it on my wall to this day.

Perhaps I ought to somehow upload my D&AD backcatalouge so you can all access it.....
