Speaking of Gears 2 ads. I saw this commercial for the game and it was this guy with a chainsaw cutting things at random, that was so stupid to me. Especially to advertise a game. I’ll stick with the original ones.

Epic’s Gears of War television ad’s have been; hands down, the best video game advertising I have ever seen. They are the only recent commercials that invoke a sense of realism and emotion, a format that Microsoft tried to emulate, (unsuccessfully) in the Halo Believe, and Finish the Fight ad campaigns.

Wow, I almost just shed a tear. I agree. This one is more powerful than mad world. This game’s story is going to be much deeper than the first and I think the ad helps to portray that.

I didnt care for Gears the firs tone, but I’m willing to give 2 a chance.

And I agree with Sir Landis I prefer the “Mad World” trailer better.

I think the lyrics are great and very fitting, but I don’t like this song as much as Mad World. Then again, I was a fan of Mad World before I ever saw the original Gears commercial, so maybe that’s part of it.

Forgot to mention this – I think one of the things that puts this a step above “Mad World” is that the lyrics really fit the context a lot better.

I am not a fan of Gears of War, or a fan of the Mad World, but dammit, I’ve watched this trailer like 10 times and have the song stuck in my head.

I am currently at work and will be for the next 6 hours. Youtube and other streaming sites are blocked here. Is there anyway that you could send me a download link for the new gears tv ad?

hmm…not as powerful as one would have hoped. the first games was just, ehh, but at the least the second LOOKS better.
