With the Oscars coming up, many film fans, including myself, are analyzing and discussing the best movies from the past year in preparation for what will most likely be a disappointing awards ceremony. While that's all well and good, this time of red carpet giddiness and cinematic splurge makes me want to celebrate the aesthetics of video games. After seeing the jarring three-minute masterpiece that is the Dead Island trailer, I realized how much I enjoy videogame trailers. With that in mind, here's my list of the top 10 best videogame trailers.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
This Silent Hill 2 PS5 review looks at Bloober Team’s Unreal Engine 5 remake of the 2001 classic, with expanded environments, over-the-shoulder combat, and stunning audiovisuals held back by uneven performance, especially on PS5 Pro.

Solid picks in there. Really approve of the number one choice.
Very nice collection of trailers. I enjoyed that thoroughly.
However, it made me realize once again why I avoid game trailers; that BioShock trailer would have ruined the best part of the game - Rapture's reveal - had I seen it prior to playing!
Great picks all around, especially BioShock for #1.
