In other words, what are ways that game companies use to promote video games? Have any specific examples?

So off the top of my head, here's a GTA IV billboard:

Red Alert? The old Civs? Theme Hospital? That one game with aliens on a space station, the name of which I am completely blanking on? Alpha Centauri? Tiberian Sun?

yeah I thought about downloading the old civs, but I figured I'd just download civ IV later. I was looking at theme hospital but I already played Them Park earlier. Is it still worth playing?  And yeah I got Alpha Centari  and I got the whole command & concquer series, so I probably have red alert & Tiberian Sun.

Hmmm I dunno a lot of people prefer Theme Park to Theme Hospital but I like to describe them as crazy people. You should play it.

Good for you.  Where'd you buy them all?
