My Best 5 Game Trailers of the Year

As readers of this blog know, I am a massive gamer. Inspired by IGN's best trailers of the year I have decided to do my own list. So here we go:

5. Indie Games Summer Uprising Trailer:


Tons of great indie games done to awesome chip-tunes. It worked too because I went out and brought 'Doom & Destiny' and got a trail of most of them.

4. King of Fighters XIII Trailer:


I always loved the KOF series but I didn't play the last couple mainly due to lack of interest. When XIII was first announced at the arcade I was hyped and as we got closer to the console release I got even more excited.

3. Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Full Trailer:


If I already did not wanted this game, this would have done it for me. The epic music, the art style, all the characters in action. My only gripe is the lack of Storm in the trailer but eh, that is a minor blemish on a masterpiece of hype. The original Marvel vs Capcom 3 full trailer was also great but I wanted to be fair and not flood the top 5 with just 'one' game.

2. Transformers: Fall of Cyberton Trailer:


I'm a massive fan of the original Transformers tho I love the movies too (unlike some people). I was stupid excited to see this trailer tho because it uses the original designs but had a movie feel. To top it off we have Grimlock, my favorite Transformer of all time to end it in style. Whilst I felt the music was a bit too close to the feel that Gears of War evoked, it's still awesome.

1. Dead Island Launch Trailer:


This trailer truly blew my mind. It was so artistic, so poetic and so emotionally draining. The music reminded me of some of the best scenes in 'Lost', the twist and how it was cut. It made me want all trailers to be THIS good. It's a shame the game wasn't as epic but it had mighty big shoes to fill, especially after this.

Well Happy New Year everybody, I hope 2012 has just as many great trailers and games!
