Many games actually let you skip these pre-menu adverts. It might not seem like a lot of time, but when you have to sit through it every single time you start up a video game, it starts feeling like an eternity. Now they're unlikely to be less than five cards long, each lasting from two to four seconds. Back in the classic Nintendo days of gaming, these sequences used to consist of a single logo that would last just a few seconds. The tedious, protracted, inescapable pre-menu sequences for the various production companies, publishers, and engines ( Scaleform, Unreal Engine 3, etc.) involved in making the game. It happens at the beginning of the game-every time you turn it on. But if you've actually played the game, then you've seen something annoying that it and many other games share. Deus Ex: Human Revolution (DX:HR) was the biggest AAA release two weeks ago, which has drawn rave reviews and sold well across the entire world.
