Half-Life 2's Gnome Chompski gets his own (fake) game
18
Little did you know that the diminuitive, statuesque grandpa you were tasked with lugging around in Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Left 4 Dead 2 was actually a stationary action hero. Check out FineLeatherJackets' trailer for Gnome Chompski's (totally not real) video game posted after the break.

Any time there's a trailer featuring songs done by The Prodigy, it's automatically more awesome. The Prodigy plus Gnome Chompski = 100% Awesome.

As awesome of a track as it is though, I'm getting tired of hearing Invaders Must Die in so many trailers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invaders_Must_Die_%28song%29#In_popular_culture
Maybe that doesn't seem like a lot, but remember that that's in the last two years. Most of those have just been in the last nine months or so. I did appreciate Kick-Ass dropping Stand Up in there at the end though, because /no one/ uses that track.
That said, this trailer's use of it could be seen as parody in its own right, so nothing against it. I just wouldn't mind seeing a little more variety, as I get tired of hit singles' overexposure.
