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!
