Hello everybody and welcome to Video Game week. I’m going to be counting down the ten best video game trailers. I’m only picking ones that are cinematic in nature, not gameplay clips. So without further ado, let’s get to it!
Number 10:
World in Conflict
Shadow on the Sun Trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOK7r1pa74M
This trailer is a classic. It has wonderful imagery, including a brief shot of the Twin Towers. And once the explosions start, the action is relentless. This could easily be the trailer for an alternate history movie. Instead, it’s a trailer for an alternate history game.
Number 9:
Halo 2
Mission Log Trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkCgDIhUJmQ
This background chatter in this trailer is so good. Coupled with the images of a lone soldier arming himself for battle, this pretty much makes the trailer as epic as you can get. The final shot and music seals the deal.
Thanks for watching and reading. Stay tuned for numbers 8 and 7 tomorrow.
Until next time,
Harry

I'll be waiting patiently all week for the rest of these trailers, Harry! I have a few in mind myself...I'm psyched to see if you include them. If, for whatever reason, you leave them out, I'll send them along with dissertation length statements on why they should have been included in your list. Talk to you soon, brother!
