Rather than tweak this forever, I'll just post it now.

My attempt at an ad. I had fun, at least.
Edit: revamp.

Jesus mik. While this isn't even your best work in this thread, it's really not even fair posting in the same vicinity as you. You shame me into realizing how far I have to go. Keep up the great work!
Also, on this piece, the only thing I would do would be to lighten/shine the mirrored part a bit, even if the dulled tone was intentional.

Would anyone be willing to look back at mine (last page) and give a critical assessment? I'd like to improve my design ability and need all the feedback I can get, even if harsh. Thank you!
I really like the type treatment you used for the game name--and the colors are perfecto. The only things that really nag at me are that the line of text at the top looks perfectly centered, but everything else is pushed to the right--not enough to look like it was intentionally right-justified, just enough to look off-center. Also, I didn't see Tim right away. He's getting lost in the hourglass a little bit. I like the idea of him being sort of translucent/transparent, but since you don't get the benefit of his silhouette, like you do with the dinosaur, he sort of disappears into the design. I wouldn't be afraid to make the XBLA logo a little smaller, either. And what about trying to decay the edges of the screenshots like you've done with the text?
I dunno--that's lots of subjective stuff. It may make it better, it may not. Overall, I really like it and it seems like an ad designed to sell the game more than lots of these (certainly mine). The quote you chose is a really powerful one.

Awesome idea. Incorporating the title into the mirrored reflection is a master stroke. Instantly explains the game, along with the 'mirrored' Princess. The mirror does seem... out of place. I don't know how else to describe it, nor really how to address it.
The only suggestion I could make would be to have the mirror expand out to fill the rest of the page. Leave the starting point where it is, to help define what it is, but pull then 'end' of the mirror out past the page. Continue the darker mirror hue, and hell just to tie it all together flip the XBLA logo in the center to reinforce the mirror image idea.
Just a suggestion - still a fantastic piece of work. Right up there with the 'Time Heals All Wounds' one.

Thanks a lot mik; that's exactly what I was looking for. And you're right on every point, I think. You have a great eye.

I second (or third?) Street Fighter IV. We've had 3 slightly more obscure games in a row and it would be cool to see what everybody does with another old school franchise.
After that:
World of Goo.

SFIV is something we'll definitely do soon, but next is going to be Team Fortress 2.
SFIV, L4D, and Link's Awakening are all on the short list, just so people can get an idea of what to expect. I'm probably going to start mixing it up more with older titles with some of the newer ones from now on. Crayon Physics, World of Goo, and Audiosurf are indie games I'd love to give a shot.

I'd love to do Street Fighter IV or RE5.
TF2 and L4D would also be great choices.

L4D would be pretty awesome.
