As with every year, most of the biggest games release in the fall, and this is naturally when videogame ads bombard the TV airwaves. With this in mind, I figured I'd put together a list of a few of my faves from the season.
Assassin's Creed
Despite what people have said about the game being hollow, the commercial makes it look completely badass.
Halo 3
Microsoft scored with its unconventional Gears of War ad last fall and followed it up with some great Halo 3 spots this year.
PS3
Despite a lot of the PS3's best exclusives slipping to next year, Sony did a great job of showcasing what they've at least got.
Viva Pinata Party Animals
Something about Pinatas training just gets me.
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
I'm also a sucker for Rabbids.
Uncharted
I haven't played it yet, but now I really want to.
