Trailer Trash 12

Game videos that aren’t worth the pixels they’re printed on

Words: on July 23, 2009

Need a break from the lurid bursts of awesomeness screaming out of San Diego? Then we suggest having a look at some of this week’s worst trailers in another thrilling edition of Trailer Trash. No packed-to-the-gills special appearances by Hayao Miyazaki or spectacular Green Hornet reveals, just the most futile bits of video game video we could find, rounded out with sardonic commentary. Enjoy!


CSI: Deadly Intent




This is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth: sometimes big movie stars have to take crap TV roles to pay for their swanky lifestyles. And thanks to game tie-ins, Morpheus can now put gas in his Testarossa.


G-Force



This trailer fails at precisely the point where it stops mocking itself and begins selling itself as a viable entertainment option.


Cursed Mountain



The developers of Cursed Mountain have hit on a fantastic way to deal with the Wii’s puny processing power: just limit your color palette to 4 shades of gray and 3 of blue. While Cursed Mountain’s story certainly sounds interesting, this look at gameplay is less than inspiring.

Next page: more relief from Comic-Con overload!

    I thought the G-Force trailer was wierd. Gerbils and firearms... wtf!
    Also I think there was nothing wrong with the way Trauma was laid out before so why are they trying to add weird flash animation comic-scenes?

    in the ArchLord trailer at 0:42, you can hear Gandolf say "You shall not pass" in the backround. It's like they don't even deny that they are stealing for LotR.

    I much would rather play L-Force than G-Force.

    You know what shows off a game great? Darkness. Staring at black while you hear footsteps. What could be more awesome?

    Oh I know! Waggle to run.

    Yep, it's the first time we've used a dood in the pano. We thought we'd try something a little different. And yes, we skipped last week because we got caught up making the lovely videos for Mikel's Legend of Chun Li feature. ("BOMB!" - LOL). Sorry 'bout that!

    The voiceover in Archlord sounds like its a badly done mixture of a real person and a cg voice

    Without Lizzie working on this, how will Cyberninja ever be able to fap to terrible game trailers?

    Good work, Joe.

    "When two mighty heroes clarshed in the harsh desart" Over emphasis of the syllable 'ar' must have been popular back then.
