Gears of War

One of the best commercials I have seen for a game in a while. Every time it comes on, we all go silent and watch the dark visuals slink by to the haunting sounds of this song. (the extended version is pretty good too). When we first heard it, there was a feeling of eerie familiarity – then I found out it was originally done by Tears for Fears in ’83…

And according to the game guru in this house, the gameplay is absolutely amazing and the graphics are stunning.
