Random Goodness: Gears Of War 2 “Last Day” ad

Two years ago when Gears Of War was released, Microsoft ran an ad featuring the song “Mad World” by Fresno born Gary Jules & Michael Andrews, a remake of the Tears For Fears song of the same name. The ad was a smash and propelled the song, which was originally a song made for the film Donnie Darko, into the mainstream. So what are Microsoft Game Studios gonna do for the sequel to the game (which has a release date of Nov. 7th)? That’s the video up there, featuring the track “How It Ends” by DeVotchKa, is the answer. Works really well, I thought. A overall good followup to it’s predecessor. Check out the original below and you let us know which one is better.
