So did Mark actually like the trailer, or hated it? I thought this was suppose to be his favorite trailer ? If didn't like it ... well I'm not going to buy G3ARS.

Err...Mark, it was supposed to be your FAVORITE trailer! Not one you thought was "pretentious" and "a bit much," sounds like you hated the GoW3 trailer, did you not hear the briefing?

@nate1222 Posted: "THIS JUST IN! Dead Island's TRAILER is getting a movie. Lionsgate grabbed the rights to it, and they're basing it on the trailer, not the game. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/09/28/dead-islands-trailer-getting-its-own-movie-the-game-not-so-much/" Wow, that could be an awesome movie. You know, that trailer seriously made me cry. Just the drama of this little girl going through this and this happy family being torn by all this. Makes you appreciate a good healthy and happy life more... in my experience... I think it would add to the charm if they did it in CGI though... Perhaps using mocap like they did with Beowulf or something, that was awesome too.

Australian here, Start Select is the best. Charismatic hosts overflowing with delicious sarcasm, great accents and good writing.

IS a PSP and iPhone together lighter than the Vita?? That wouldn't make any sense... Also, having a touch-pad on the back also doesn't seem very nice to me... Especially if you'd be forced to use it... The Battlefield-games usually had great honest gameplay-trailers. OK, sometimes they'd have been cleaned up and directed a bit, but not completely fake or anything. I'm not even a huge BF-fan... The AC-trailer is quite awesome yeah. I thought the music was kind of modern, but yeah... This is one of those trailers that could actually promote makeing a movie out of a game. Just look at it, it would work really well. The Valentine's Portal was the most dry and hilarious one. :D Yeah, the Prey 2 one is something different. The amotional music with GoW3, I don't think you get it. They did a similar thing for Crysis 2, and it just made it very sad or something. I think it's more like, at least for me, that it makes you feel like "This is bad, why does this have to happen, something needs to be done.". Basically... IT's just selling through the dramatic story, although the game might not feel much like that at al. Especially GoW... GTAV is a nice one cause it does show a lot of hints of what the game would be like. I think that's one of the better trailers to just bring interest and information to the game. Not necessarily on how the game really is in the end. Oh yeah, that Dead Island trailer impressed the heck out of me too! I forgot about that. That was insane... Also the touchy dramatic thing, felt very serious and intense... I mean, as if it was really going down badly and there was a terrible threat. It almost looks real too! And thanks for honoring me! :) Salute, - MicHaeL

I thought Halo 4's trailer was pretty damn sick... the timing of it and fact you were unsure what was going on ws cool

CBS stingy on the utility bills, are they? Someone needs to turn the heating on in GS HQ - Seb AND Mark both wearing scarves. You're indoors! Didn't your mothers ever tell you that you won't feel the benefit when you go outside if you don't take them off?

Skyrim trailer hands down. Before it there was so many questions - how the game will actually look, all we saw to this point were some screens and we all know the rule - gameplay or it didn't happen. This trailer kicked us in the nuts with great visuals, epic music and legendary (today) FUS ROH DA. before this trailer I was skeptical if Bethesda can pull off something much better than their other RPG's of this generation, after watching the trailer I went nuts and was like "shut up, release the game and take my fu*** money".

It's got to be the new Mass Effect 3 trailer where the Thresher Maw goes after the Reaper. Freakin' epic!

Seb's cardy looks itchy. I have to agree with Danny. The BF3 trailer got my heart racing with excitement. Bit of a shame then when the game ended up not quite as 'finished' as it should have been (still waiting for a patch that brings some BALANCE!!!). Still can't help playing though even if my controller ends up lodge in my wall after an hour or two. And how dare you refer to Mazzy Star: Into Dust as "namby pamby" (definition:lacking in character or substance). I consider the song very beautiful and powerful. But then what do I and Epic games know. Maybe it is a just a whinny indie song.

ok , that song in the end with the hugging scene was gay

Gears of War trailer is AWESOME!!!

For Crysis 2 likely a 9.5/10 for outstanding multiplayer modes and single player modes.

Wensea10 13 pts

For Deus Ex: Human Revolution it likely is a 9/10 for gameplay variety.

Picking great trailers, this person thinks the best ones were with games like Mario Kart 7.

Do an episode around 'Arrow in the knee' and 'Winner: Dark Souls' lol

While I'm not a fan of the Dead Island game, I gotta admit, the trailer was artful and very emotionally charged. I damn near cried the first 2 times I watched it. It almost didn't feel right. It almost felt like we're being entertained by human suffering. Go ahead and thumb me down, macho guys.

Dead Island (trailer) FTW! Dead Island (game) WTH! well whatever floats your boat.

The 'Ashes to Ashes' Gears of War 3 trailer was better. It had that amazing Sun Kil Moon song on it.

Loved the AC Revelations trailer myself, amazing trailer to go with an amazing game :) can we get a 'Best of 2011 Outtakes' vote? My personal fav is the 'they call me seb ford..' song by seb!

Solidsnake13_2 5 pts

Although I will say the AC Revelations was tooo awesome the song made it even better

I really LOVED the Gears 3 trailer, the music fits perfectly. it made my spine tingle!

The Total War: Shogun 2 trailer was also really awesome. The duel one. That was early 2011 though. A bit like the AC trailer, actually.

hannify 22 pts

What is with the naff camera angles? Your camera man from MTV or something?

Deus Ex Human Revolution was the best trailer for me, followed by the PS3 trailer. But i do also like the Twisted Metal trailers and i was loving the new Metal Gear Rising 'uncut bloody' trailer.

Nice to see a proper length episode for a change :)

Best trailer is either the Assassin's Creed Revelations E3 trailer or the Dark Souls Extended Bartholomew Launch Trailer. Personally I'm swaying towards the Dark Souls trailer.
