Afternoon Delight: What Action Games Seriously Needed – Some Humor

Afternoon Delight is a daily diversion for when you’re just back from lunch, but not quite ready to knuckle down to work. Check back weekdays at 1 p.m. for another one.

If you’re an action-game fan, you’ve already seen this ad a hundred times. But if you’re not, it’s remarkable because it won’t actually insult your intelligence. Plus, there’s Robert Downey, Jr., doing what he does best: not taking himself (or the project he’s in) entirely seriously.
