The Dumb Are Mostly Intrigued By The Drum

Ah, Sony. For years they have pelted us with ads for their video game system and software for said system. There have been some bad ones and some good ones. Well, PS3 Fanboy has compiled the two lists and have they ready for you to check out in their series called "This Is Advertising". Of course, most of these ads have never been seen on TV screens on our shores being as Europe always gets the cool (and not-so cool) ad campaigns. Their number one for best ad is posted above and I believe I totally agree with them on this one. Check out the best here and the worst here and you let us know which ones stood out to you.

Parkour is awesome! Sometimes when I see these guys jumping around the landscape like I would imagine Mario would if he were a real person, I tell myself "I need to lose some pounds so I, too, can pull off cool ass shit like that." But I never do so I'll have to make due with a digital representation. A video game iteration of the sport has been attempted in the past but Mirror's Edge is the first game in which the sport has been featured. After months of speculation and very boring screenshots, the first gameplay video has been released the other day at Sony's European Playstation Days event and man.....this looks awesome. Blending some Portal-type first person gameplay along with some action sequences all running on the Unreal Engine....color me interested! Check out the trailer and keep an eye for the game when it released later this year for both the PS3 & Xbox 360.
