Pretty Awesome Ad: Microsoft - The Surface Movement

This isn't the best ad in the world. Nor is it a product that I want to buy. And, the :30 version of this spot sucks. But, this :60 cut is pretty well done. I may never hold a Surface in my hand or visit a Microsoft store, but it's good to see them heading in the right direction. Kudos to everyone involved in this production.

Awesome Ad/Horrible Title: Assassin's Creed III - "Story"

Most people take titles for granted. Case in point, this TV spot for Assassin's Creed III is actually pretty sweet but it's called "Story". Seriously?

Awesome Ad: Call of Duty Black Ops 2 - Surprise

I've always loved Call of Duty's ads since they've started to use real people and celebrities under the "There's a soldier in all of us." line. But, this one directed by Guy Richie is the best since the first one with Kobe Bryant.

How do you follow up a spot directed by Michael Bay? By somehow finding a way (besides having Ken Block driving) to make the Ford Focus look awesome.

Awesome Ad: VW - Bad Dog, Good Volkswagen

Awesome Showcase of Skills: Martyn Ashton - Road Bike Party

These tricks in a mountain bike would be impressive. But Martyn Ashton does them in Mark Cavendish's $16,000 carbon road bike. via Devour

Awesome Trailer: Gangster Squad

The more I see of this Gangster Squad, the more I want to see it. The editing of this trailer's pretty sweet too.
