Advertising: No matter how retarded your idea is someone will eventually bump into it and pay attention.

While not surfing for pornography one of our readers spotted an advertisement for Alliance of Valiant Arms, a two-year old Korean FPS that ijji acquired recently.  (They added a lovely coat of localization & Internet bubble wrap for European and American audiences this year).  The game seems to borrow heavily from popular wartime game franchises, so its no surprise that this made it into the marketing.  Better than Call of Duty 4 and Counterstrike combined you say?  "Why wait for Modern Warfare 2?", it says. Check out the gallery below. This must be the greatest FPS of our generation! 

Or not.

You can't blame them for trying. The banner ads appear to be real testimonials from fans, but exactly where these comments were posted remains a mystery.  Their authenticity could not be confirmed by doing Google searches for either of the player handles.  Maybe they were translated from the original game's Chinese and Korean communities, or sent privately though the air to their minister of propaganda by a bilingual carrier pigeon ambassador.

Curious like to see how it stacks up? Check out AVA's site and try to sneak into the beta.  Maybe we can see our our reader testimonials stack up to the ones that made the ads. If you've played it let's hear your comments.
