Trailer with the Most Explosions: Crackdown 2

I mean, it says it all. Do I like to blow sh*t up? Yes. Yes I do.

Trailer Showing the Game Trying to Compete with Call of Duty: Medal of Honor

It’s clearly EA’s answer to Modern Warfare. Spec Ops: The Line was a close second. Good luck with that, guys.

Game Trailer Most Likely to Cause Seizures: Tron: Evolution

So many bright lights… and it looks way cooler than the movie ever did.

Trailer for a Game Series We Forgot: True Crime

The last game in the open-world action series came out in 2005 for last-gen consoles. The new title takes us to Hong Kong and stars an Asian protagonist. No gameplay here, but we’re interested to see more.

Best Move in a Trailer: Deadliest Warrior

I don’t have much interest in a game based on the Spike TV show that shows two historical warriors in an a hypothetical battle to the death… but I do have to admit the ninja star to the eyeball was pretty cool.

Trying to Be Optimistic About a Google Music-Streaming System

The Wall Street Journal’s Amir Efrati and Ethan Smith are reporting that Google is working on a consumer-electronics system designed to stream music–and, eventually, maybe video and other media–around the home. Their story doesn’t have much in the way of detail, but does say that Google’s brainchild might be akin to a lower-cost version of Sonos’s excellent-but-pricey music-streaming products. Absent more details, there are several ways to respond to this sketchy bit of news.

Man, I can’t wait for Crackdown 2!

I’m certainly not denying that the Halo Reach trailer was the best cinematic trailer at the event, but best trailer overall? At least Crackdown 2 gave us some kind of insight into what the actually game is going to be like. Even the tasteless Deadliest Warrior trailer had some gameplay footage (as awful as it was).

The Reach trailer simply showed some of the main characters and gave us a small dose of the Halo franchise’s signature unintentionally cheesy one-liners. Spartans never die, they’re only missing in action? I mean, come on.
