I'm a big fan of good trailers, odd as that may sound. That also includes the occasional video game trailer.
I've also been on a Gears of War kick lately, which for my money has some of the best video game trailers in the business. The first, with the famous Mad World cover, really set Gears apart, catching your eye and ear. Gears 2 and 3 followed suit, choosing to leave the viewer in a somber, contemplative state, instead of adrenaline pumping and ready to jump into the action! In a short duration, these trailers showed fully fleshed out characters with their own fears and doubts. Dom in particular, with an almost mini character arc from 2 to 3, showing his giving up and accepting death after the loss of his family.
Besides those trailers, the only other one that I appreciate and I feel stands out is the viscerally intense Spec Ops The Line trailer, which has quite possibly the most badass song ever created. I wonder how much of that though is due to the strength and quality of the game itself, and not so much the trailer.
What about other memorable game trailers? I'm surprised that other personal favorites of mine like Bioshock or Silent Hill don't have much in the way of memorable trailers.
