It's funny because I bought a game for 60 dollars with my hard earned money that I couldn't play for months.

I'm looking for the best game tagline of all time. It can be from ads or the cover/back cover.
My nomination is on Shadow of the Colossus magazine ads:
click for enlarged version
On the ones I've seen, there's some variation of:
"Some mountains are scaled. Others are slain."
There was also "How far would you go for love?" which was pretty cool, but not as central to the game.
In Turkish version of that ad on a mag, it said: ''Love can move mountains'' as far as i remember. And it might be my favourite.
Edit: No, no. I checked the ad you shared again, its not the same. It was a bit different than yours as far as i remember.
Oh yes! Forgot about Klax!

Fuck, I love this one so much, due to the amazing Halo 3 SP memories.
There may never be a more ridiculous ad campaign or levels of hype generated.

They never shouldve released it in the state it was. When I clocked in 100 hours, saving and loading took 2 minutes.

I'm not sure whether they've put it on actual boxes, but "There are many stories but there is only one legend" sounds just perfect to me.

You know, I can't think of a single tagline off the top of my head. Is that weird?

^This is the best one ever, but id like to add a simple and somewhat touching one.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Perfection.
Xenogears!
Alternatively, Gotta catch'em all! works.

Looking back on this one is kind of funny considering they went on to make like 5 more Halo's. Nothing will ever match my excitement leading up to Halo 3.

All of my favorites have been said already:
How far would you go for love?
Some mountains are scaled. Others are slain.
Finish the fight.

That's...that's kind of the whole point.
"How far" isn't just a question of self sacrifice, but also of how dirty you're willing to get your hands. "Fuck the gods, fuck the land, fuck the world. I just want my girlfriend back" is incredibly romantic.
Definitely my choice. Although for all Fallouts, not just the third.
kinda love this one.
I wonder what kind of great taglines new Sonic would have...

Zelda 64, UK tagline:
"Whilst thou get the girl?
or play like one?"
Best for the wrong reasons
No need to think

not an ad, but not that bad.

Didn't it have another one that went like "Putting the ASS back in assassin."
How does someone in that thread, have Companion Cube as a user name? Coincidence or can you change your username?
Well that's not cringe worthy at all.
I'm surprised that a game company actually used the term "lolis" on their game box. But then again it's Aksys the same company who releases the Agarest War games with innuendo all over the box.
My favorites have been mentioned in this thread already:
"Stand tall and shake the heavens" - Xenogears
"In the darkest hour, hope springs eternal" - Lunar EB
"Go to synaesthesia" - Rez

Delta Force 2: You can run, but you'll just die tired
Ironically, one of my friend gifted it to me, and I haven't seen any other version of the game with this awesome cover!

We have differing opinions of whay counts as romantic. Seeing the "how far" tagline makes the game's main goal seem like an admirable endeavor when it's not that straightforward. It makes me think of the US trailer for City of God that wasn't necessarily innacurate, but it painted the film in the wrong light and put a spin on what it was about instead of plainly showing what it is.
No matter how you interpret the game's story/gameplay, the "mountains" taglime is still appropriate

I'm partial to this one, myself.
