Best and worst trailers from Xbox Live Marketplace
So we've downloaded and watched all 15 trailers currently offered for download on Xbox Live and
have chosen the best and worst of the bunch.
BEST TRAILER: Amped 3. Funny! Humor goes a long way towards keeping us awake here at 4am. As Chris noted, the trailer makes the game look "fun as shit." The trailer's sock puppets, butt jokes, and Napolean Dynamite-esque dialogue made us giggle. For example, one of the duo that voices the trailer mocks boring video game reviews when he stiffly intones: "I found the park builder extremely easy to use and plant my own trickable objects out of my but-tock."
Runner up: Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. THAW loses because it sports downright crappy voiceover that's so worn we're pretty sure it was picked up in a thrift shop: "The only rules are the ones you break." We feel so very rebellious after hearing an old dude say that in his best blockbuster movie voice. That said, this trailer's frenetic energy and abundant gameplay footage give a real feel for what it means to play the title.
WORST TRAILER: Maybe Call of Duty 2, for the bold subtitle that brags about being a sequel. Seriously. Big, huge, gold letters that say "The Sequel." Being a sequel is something to brag about now?

Yeah? That's why CoD2 will be the biggest launch title. Take it deep PDZ

No worst trailer is PGR3 in 480p.
Just looks awful.

Wow, the Amped 3 trailer made me change my mind from "Must Buy" to "Won't Even Rent".
