I love gaming advertising. It shows that games have a stand and that it must be taken seriously because it is part of the industry and quite frankly, it is a form of art.

I don't want legitimacy, I wan't good games!
Big advertisements make me worry about the direction that gaming has taken. I think it just shows how games are becoming big consumer products instead of creative works of passionate people.
Dang! I didn't know they were plastering LA like that. I have mixed feelings of obnoxious and cool.
whats good/sad is the company's that spend the most on Advertising either have lots of money meaning a bigger percent or budget or feel it's really important to get their name out thus putting more of their money they have into it meaning they are either doing really really well or really bad lol.
Haha - good ol' Figueroa Hotel - they must make a mint off that advertising space each year.
@everyone - relatively inexpensive and comfortable place to stay when you're in L.A. and just a hop, skip and jump from the Convention Center - recommended!
