Title: In game ads break into immersive RPGs (ugh).

The (outrageous) article (http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2006/8/15/4983)

Take 2, you idiots.  When playing an immersive game like Dungeon siege, you certainly don\'t want to see something like this pop up.  It\'s one thing in real-world games (signs on walls in GTA, Turismo, etc), but this is just going too far.

Lame.

Though I find most NPC conversations to be lame.

EA hops on the bandwagon (http://money.cnn.com/2006/08/31/technology/electronic_arts.reut/index.htm).

It\'s fine for sports games, but looks like they\'re going to be throwing in updating ads into Battlefield 2042 (ugh).

Y\'all need to lighten up.

I wouldn\'t mind seeing AXE body spray ads in Zelda Twilight Princess
