Gaming Commercials

Yay, this is the 100th post made on this blog! Anway, here is a small collection of past random gaming commercials for hardware and games. Some are quite recent, the ad for the GB Micro has to be my favourite :P. There hasn't been much news on the Revolution lately, so I thought this may keep everyone entertained until the CES early next year, or (hopefully) the next issue of Edge magazine (due out Oct 27th).

New GB micro commercial:

There is also another video I would like to link to. Nergized at Digital Share posted a demonstration what the capabilities of the Revolution controller. Someone holds a single handed Playstation controller in one hand, and a Gyration's gyroscopic mouse in the other, and plays Half Life 2 wielding both at the same time. This gives some idea of what the Revolution Controller along with Num Chuk will be like in action, except for the fact that this mimic cannot detect the controller's distance to the screen, making it somewhat inferior to the actual Revolution's.

This is an interesting video, take notice of the guy's hand movements as he plays CS:
