All I know is that the KH commercials are embarrassing as hell if people that know you like those games are in the room.

[up]Hell, have you ever tried to explain it to anyone?

At least my wife thinks I'm cute when i geek out about things... You should have saw her squeeing over me the other day when I was downloading the new Minecraft patch, sharing research about it over IRC and listening to the new Radiohead album that's making me cream my trousers.

First, the worst.

First, insert generic statement pointing out JAF is once again shilling his site.

Secondly, insert even more generic inquiry as to why the Theater of Eye campaign isn't even mentioned..

I'm quite fond of the Golden Sun one, even though it has nothing to do with the game.

"And Nintendo wonders why the game bombed in America"

That wasn't a TV ad.

I'd put the "Are you devious enough to play Xevious" ad in the "Best", but I can't find it anywhere.

Keep in mind, it's not "Best Games". It's "Best Trailers".

My statement stands. What the hell were they thinking, making that japanese actress (i forget her name) do nothing but moan the whole commercial?

And oddly enough, I'm sure it worked XD

I'm with Apocali on fondness for the classic SSB 64 ad.

What about the PS 3 Ninja Gaiden 2 ad where men stared and fondled a pair of breasts sticking out of a wall?

It would be a crime for this thread to continue without a link to this ad (best)

Damn, I knew I saw that face before, but I didn't know where.

That's hilarious Talking To Himself right there.

I'm not sure if this was a TV ad and I know many people don't think much of the game, but I must say that this trailer is classy.
