Bad gaming ads, we've all seen 'em. GamesRadar takes a look at some horrid gaming ads, all of them being Wii games (and some DS games) and a lot of the ads being made by Sega.

What is Nintendo’s biggest influence on the modern gaming scene? Motion controls? The meteoric rise of the casual market? The range of lifestyle games? They’re all biggies, no doubt. But for our money we’d have to say that the reinvention of the game advert has undoubtedly sent more shockwaves through the gaming bedrock than any of these. You know what we’re talking about: white living rooms populated by long attractive models waving their long attractive limbs as only long attractive people can. The Wii is as much about the waggle as the action on screen, so in-game footage will no longer suffice. Some actors and a load of remotes, how hard can it be? Try telling Sega that…

    I would have to agree Sega had some pretty bad ads. But the pc ads are getting bad also. They need to spend more time on the Show of the game.

    The best ads? Japanese Sega Saturn commercials. The chronicles of Segata Sanshiro appearing to beat the hell out of local people. His last commercial features his jumping off a building, catching a rocket, and the riding it into space. It's actually impossible to beat that; a ceiling has been created.

    The worst ad:
    "SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDON'T."
    Nuff said.

      That's actually somewhat clever. It's better than them just saying. "There's no way SNES could run Sonic."
