Halo: Reach Viral Videos
The story of the Halo games has been minimal at best but that doesn’t keep Microsoft’s marketing team from trying to get people to care about the characters and setting of Halo: Reach. The “Deliver Hope” and “Birth of a Spartan” videos are pretty visually interesting, but the “Day Before” video doesn’t really make care about Reach in the slightest.
Live Action Metroid: Other M Commercial
I think this is one of the best video game commercial I’ve ever seen, definitely the best one for a Wii Game. If you don’t understand what is going on in it, you might want to check this video out.
Team Portal 2: Portal Co-op Trailer
I love co-op but I’ve never seen it done with a puzzle game. It would require both people to think alike or atleast have very good communication.
Dragon Age 2 Gamescom Trailer
Very combat heavy.
The History of Metroid in 7 Minutes
I haven’t played a Metroid game since the original and didn’t even beat that. This video helps explain what limited knowledge I need to understand the upcoming Metroid: Other M so I will understand what I’m doing when I’m playing the most badass manly man, Samus Aran. Wait….she is a girl? Oh really?

Infamous 2 Gamescom Trailer
This trailer gives your first look at the re-revised look of Infamous’s star, Cole. There is just a quick pan around him as the lighting flashes but he seems to still looks like he did on the Game Informer cover. I would expect a clearer image of Cole to be released in the near future.
DC Universe Online Gamescom Trailer
It’s nothing we haven’t already seen before, just shows us the gameplay and superpowers in action.
How Mickey Became Epic Mickey
Epic Mickey starts way back before Mickey was the well known nice guy that he is known as today. The opening is based on the classic Mickey cartoon “Thru The Mirror” and I imagine we can expect several other classic Disney references in the game. I don’t think Epic Mickey will be as good as Kingdom Hearts, but this cutscene does make me want to see more.

We are Milo’s Tyler Durden
When I first saw this game/tech demo, I expected it to be something directed at kids. It is now more of a parenting simulator. We play is Milo’s imaginary friend who helps him deal with his transition from England to New England (the superior England). Let’s start by saying his claim that “no two Milos will be alike” is a complete lie. It’s would be like saying no two playthroughs of Mass Effect or Heavy Rain will be the same. It will clearly have key points where players can interact with Milo and depending on how those go, you will make a certain Milo. The second thing is 90% of players (males atleast) will be yelling at Milo and making the most traumatized virtual child ever created (if “conjouring” an imaginary friend wasn’t a bad sign to begin with). Despite all that, the software and technology behind it is pretty impressive.
