Geometry Wars: Galaxies Ad Campaign

[botticus]

Can't let this one go by without mention, as it's the first third-party ad campaign since Red Steel worth paying attention to.

Don't forget Rayman!

lolcats are made of awesome.

I think I'm gonna like this marketing campaign. It's up there with the Rabbids.

[botticus]

Don't forget Rayman!Oh, true. Well, someone besides Ubisoft, then.

That lolcats stuff is brilliant. I also like the price seems to be $40... but I really wish it was $30.

I also like the price seems to be $40... but I really wish it was $30.I don't mind $40 (though that really is pending reviews to tell me how much stuff there is, compared to the $5 XBLA game), but I really wish they had similarly budget-priced the DS game to $20 to give me more incentive to buy both for the connectivity.

Coincidence the first page I clicked on when double-checking the XBLA price showed the following?

agreed. and I think it's kind of weird that it's being used for an ad campaign, like Chuck Norris (in Mountain Dew commercials.) so now any time a meme gets big on the internet, we'll be seeing stuff like "McDonald's Presents: the Goatse burger!"

edit: and the whole problem with that is that someone started the meme and they're not getting paid for their work. Not that they should expect this when they see it getting popular, but it's a problem when companies use it.

I want to buy both the ds and wii versions but the prices are killing me. I'll probably go with the ds version and just give the wii version a rental unless there are loads of features in the Wii version.

Being on the TV in widescreen is a nice bonus too, with only a $10 difference.

I'm excited by this coming to Wii and DS, and having connectivity between the two.

But $40 and $30? C'mon. What is it with the Wii and games that oughta be budget but aren't?

I want these, but I think I'm gonna end up waiting.
