If you watched last night's
Guitar Hero South Park then you know the amount of commercial product pushing that went on. After getting through only half of our (deeply loved) South Park we could only think one thing ... holy
Assassin's Creed commercial abuse Batman! Seriously, there must have been a solid ten minutes of
Assassins commercials that aired during the 30 minute episode, so much so we don't think there were any other commercials played besides Comedy Central's own. So many commercials, we were starting to wonder if Ubisoft bought a stake of Comedy Central or lined Matt and Trey's pockets with the other half of
Assassins' marketing budget. But after the episode concluded and our commercial intake ended, we couldn't complain. We'd be lying to say that we didn't enjoy all ten minutes of the
Assassins footage. We'd also be lying if we didn't tell you that later we hopped into our car, headed to our local retailer and picked up a copy of
Heroin Hero. It was an interesting night.

i was so close to catching it this morning!
did anyone else notice tons of copies of Okami on the shelves at the game store? that was pretty cool.
still so on the fence about AC! i just got COD4 AND i'm already planning on getting Mass Effect. AC looks really fun and i'll definitely play, just can't decide if it is worth a purchase. will i even have the time??

That episode was hilarious, "You are FAGS".
Heroin Hero GOTY!
Hey Kp, if your not sure I recommend just renting it, beat it, and buy Mass Effect ;) that's my plan.
Anyways how is COD4? I've read rave reviews, hopefully I can win some free swag but chances are slim :(

Being from Colorado, it was hilarious to see that they actually used real people from Colorado at the coke/sex party.

My wife (who's from Colorado) freaked out about the old guy with the tiger (some furniture store owner?) - we had to rewind and check it again.

I'll never buy that game, just because I got so mad at those commercials.

The commercial pump certainly worked on me. I'm not a fan of adventure type games (aside from the occasional Tomb Raiders...) but the graphics and art style sold me on this one.
