Looking Back 2008: Best Game Trailer!
Looking Back 2008: Best Game Trailer!
Without question, it's a boom year for game industry. Many excellent games released over the last twelve months. Paste Magazine ( wrote by Jason Killingsworth) has highlighted the 7 best game trailers released in 2008, which includes well-known games - Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning and Fallout 3.
The following are extracts from the original article.
4. Fallout 3
This teaser trailer damn near made me weep, mainly because I first saw it over a year before the game was scheduled for release. The contextual irony of the Ink Spots song lyrics made me chuckle and the slow reveal gave me goosebumps. Then when the Brotherhood of Steel solider turns and looks at you in the final moment, I almost wet my pants. Almost wetting your pants means the trailer has done its job with ruthless efficiency.
2. Gears of War 2
The Ian McKellen-style voiceover reciting Alan Seeger's poem "I Have A Rendezvous With Death" combined with the drama of the subterranean battlefield—beautiful, grim, straightforward, effective. For a few brief seconds, this funner-than-fun action blockbuster feels like it has brains to match its brawn.
1. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
If I didn't have such an addictive gaming personality and trusted myself to dabble in MMORPGs, this trailer would have me asking, "World of Whatcraft?" Epic, sexy, stylish, exciting. I had so much fun watching the trailer, I found myself secretly pining for a feature-length version of this animated short. Instead the world will get another installment of Shrek. Burnish your Elven mythril chestplate and savor the fantasy flavor!
