While most ad copywriters could not care less about videogames, the person who put this ad together is way too enthusiastic about The Crow: City of Angels. Click on the large version and take in the purple prose on those screenshot captions. "No obstacle will stop your unearthly quest for vengeance!" "Hunt for the damned through a 3D labyrinth of seedy streets!" Note also how the text in the middle is typeset oh-so-lovingly to mirror the Crow logo below. The passion, the attention to detail -- this was some struggling artist's crowning masterpiece. If that doesn't make you cry tears of emo blackness, nothing will.
