One assassin vs. hundreds of redcoats. Historically improbable? No. As awesome as heck? Definitely. Ubisoft, you’ve done it again; you’ve given us one of best video game trailers in gaming!

60. BioShock: Infinite – “Beast of America” Trailer

This trailer offers a quick version of the story, with all bombast of a summer action blockbuster. It’s all gameplay footage, too! Not to mention the Beast of America song is just one anthem that’ll make you want to punch the air until you’ve torn a hole through the fabric of reality.

As if we need another reminder how awesome the Borderlands franchise is, we get a bazillion guns, stuff blowing up, non-stop action, and Claptrap dancing for your pleasure.

62. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 – Konami Pre-E3 Show

We were all shocked to learn, at the end of Lords of Shadow, that Gabriel Belmont had become Dracula. In this trailer, we get to see just how powerful he is as the master vampire himself. No knight or 100-foot automaton can withstand that ethereal whip, and that shiny pair of new fangs!

The Grim Reaper shows us he’s not just a skeleton in a black cloak – he’s an overpowered, overmuscled superhero with a bone to pick!

A found footage-style setup leads into a mash-up of scenes involving bloodthirsty pirates, running through the jungle really fast, and lots and lots of shooting. Extra points for the wub wub.

People jumping out of cars jumping out of planes? Trevor blowing things up? Pointless therapy sessions? Everyone’s favorite trinity of antiheroes wage war on the law and human decency in this hilarious trailer.

A quiet, moving diaroma showcasing war and its adverse effects, both physically and psychologically, on all those involved. An emotional gut punch like no other, and one of the best video game trailers ever created.

This trailer has it all: story, violence, impossibly high stakes, special effects, cool futuristic tech, character, and heart. And extra kudos to Bioware for making a FemShep version!

68. World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria – Cinematic Trailer

We’ve seen cinematic trailers featuring people fighting each other before, and frankly, it’s getting old. But this being Blizzard, you know how great they are at putting an exciting new spin on the familiar. One of the best video game trailers ever made, and it’s even got a kung fu surprise!

69. The Unfinished Swan – Teaser Trailer

As ink blobs trace various shapes in the environment, a pristine white canvas is slowly transformed into a living, breathing world. Surreal and filled with a childlike charm, this trailer’s gotten us wanting to know more.
