Adweek today announced what they believe, as advertising experts, to be the best commercials of the past decade. And amongst the finalists were two video game spots.
Those ads - which made the final cut of 27 finalists - were "Mountain", for the PS2 (by TBWA in London), and "Diorama", for Halo 3 (http://kotaku.com/tag/halo3/) (by T.A.G. in the United States). Neither were able to win, however, that honour going to a Honda commercial featuring cartoon bunnies and flying Honda engines.
It's funny they went with "Diorama", and not the campaign for Halo 3: ODST, which I thought was much better (http://kotaku.com/5355165/halo-odst-live+action-trailer-gets-an-extended-cut).
As for "Mountain", that's fine, it's a great ad. I'm just happy they showed a little sense/taste and didn't pick that awful Gears of War "Mad World" commercial (http://kotaku.com/272074/gears-ad-a-hit-at-cannes-too).
