gaia.jpg This actually debuted just before E3, but it's so GSW-ish we still have to run it - Scott Sharkey's 1UP feature on 'The Best Worst Ads' in game magazines.

Sharkey starts: "Each time I discarded an ad it was like killing a little piece of myself, but in the end we were left with the absolute cream of the crap", and then delightedly shows off horrific artifacts such as Color Dreams' generic horrors ("Nobody's quite sure what the absolute worst Nintendo game is, because every game Color Dreams game ever made is tied with every other one for first place.")

Also highlighted - a really pointless Secret Of Evermore ad - "I still don't get the point to this one. There's no actual trick involved or anything, unless you count making people bob their heads in and out of their magazines like morons." Oh, and the pictured Gaiares ad is mullettastic!
