Lame.

In Response To: EGM Aug Issue >>Halo 2 Ad<< *IMG (tLove)

: I know your not supposed to put up magazine scans untill the mag goes off the
: shelves, but this isn't a screenshot or anything, its just an Ad. So if
: the Admin doesn't approve, then remove the link. But I thought it would be
: cool to post since its the first AD for Halo 2 that I've seen.

Thanks for the post. I hope the game doesn't live up to this marketing ad.

When your game has been screenshotted to death, demo'd, written up, talked about, playtested, its rather lame to suddenly play hide the bacon with an ad to build suspense. The suspense should have been BEFORE the screenshots. But hey, I don't get paid the big marketing bucks anymore.

PS: I am also not keen on the orange glow. I thought Halo Blue was part of the trademark style. The complete use of the font leaves a bit to be desired -- overkill on style.
