The best trailers of E3 2014

Hype beyond hype

Hype beyond hype

As with many theatrical movie releases these days, the best part of E3 is the trailers. Sure, members of the gaming press get hands-on time with the games after they're shown, and that's awesome--but we can all remember our years spent watching from home, squealing with excitement at all the cinematic reveals and info-laden gameplay demos shown off on the E3 stage. E3 2014 soared in this regard, showing off excellent trailers almost non-stop for all manner of our most anticipated games of 2014 and beyond.

In an attempt to capture the magic of this year's amazing line-up, we've gone ahead and ranked the 10 trailers that got us the most riled-up at the show (and still continue to impress us even now). Maybe you agree with our picks and ranking, maybe you don't--but there's no denying that all of these trailers do an incredible job of building up hype for these rad-looking games.

So, do you agree with our picks for the best trailers that E3 2014 had to offer? Maybe you have a soft spot for the exceptionally mellow "Coast to Coast" trailer for The Crew, or experienced a joyous overload of cuteness at first sight of Yoshi's Woolly World. Let us know which E3 2014 trailer was your absolute favorite in the comments below!

And if you're looking for more post-E3 highs, check out The best games of E3 2014 and Most hateful, baffling comments of E3 2014.
