You should probably pay attention to this, fans of hype.
NeoGAF has a thread on the most epic game trailers ever. Most of them are, indeed, epic. I thought it was a great talking point, so I’m writing this up to pick out some of the trailers discussed in that thread, as well as picking some of my own that haven’t mentioned.
But what about you? What’s your favorite game trailers ever? Leave them in the comments. I’d love to gush all over it, most likely (or bad mouth it if it’s Shenmue [no I won’t]).
