Call of Juarez has, as a series, stayed in the wild west. While The Cartel aims to move to a more modern setting, it's still a bit of a western. There's definitely a bit of thematic influence from the excellent No Country For Old Men, and the characters definitely remind us of the classic western archetypes. Besides that, this is entirely a stylistic trailer. Lots of cool cinematics and explosions, not much else.

If this trailer is any indication, we should all be augmented. While it doesn't actually show any in-game footage of Human Revolution, this video does give us a glimpse into Sarif Industries and their vision of the future. There is, however, a conspicuous lack of robotic legs. We suppose paraplegics are simply too uncouth for Sarif. Kidding aside, this trailer has plenty of style and is one of the few live action game trailers we've seen, so it's worth watching at least once.

We loved Section 8 when it originally released, so the budget-priced Section 8 Prejudice has us excited as well. For those that don't understand why, just take a look at the tons of in-game footage this trailer has. Vehicles, combat missions, excellent sci-fi designs, and beautiful landscapes. It's a quick cross section of the things the developers have explained in previous videos, which is fitting given the game's imminent release.

This is the kind of trailer we love to see. It's entirely composed of in-game footage depicting Red River's multiplayer, and while the editing is shaky and a little incoherent, it still has a lot of content for players to chew into. Trailers that have this much footage of actual game mechanics are a treat, and we recommend that anybody interested in the latest Operation Flashpoint title give it a look. There's tons of squad mechanics, vehicle attacks, and bleeding out to catch your attention.

Battlefield 2 is still one of the most influential games of all time. Its progression system was copied by Call of Duty 4, and the massive battles mixed with intense close-quarters infantry combat made it an instant classic. Play4Free returns to this after the smaller, more destruction-focused style of Bad Company 2, and this trailer gives us a good glimpse into what that means. The seamless blend of pre-rendered and in-game footage is a bit impressive, and the combat looks to be just as good as ever.

While the last Brink trailer we saw showed us the core abilities of the various classes, this one goes into a little more depth regarding all abilities. Specifically, it presents some of the abilities you unlock by progressing through the multiplayer. With goodies like mainframe hacking tools, self-revive needles, and portable turrets, it certainly looks like it will be a blast. The more gameplay footage we see, the more we hope that it will be a worthy successor to the Enemy Territory name.

If there's one thing that Duke Nukem is known for, it's being as crude and not safe for work as possible. In this case, it involves either throwing around his own excrement (yes, really) or punching off the head of an alien and riding his torso into a building. Both of these trailers for Duke Nukem Forever are most certainly not safe for work on children, but they definitely give a look at Duke Nukem's brand of humor. It's the kind that involves smearing the environment with wet feces and drinking from a contaminated water faucet.

While the Point Man and Paxton Fettel are brothers, that didn't stop the Point Man from putting a bullet in Fettel's head at the end of FEAR. Still, there are times when one should move on from the past and work together with what was once an enemy, and apparently that time is now for the sons of Alma. This trailer for FEAR 3 may not show anything especially stunning, but what it does do is creep us out. Perhaps it's the excellent sound design, with all its glitches and droning noises. If the trailer is this disturbing, we have high hopes for the game!

It has been four years since its release and Crysis is still being held up as the machine-killer of all PC games. Whenever you buy a new rig, chances are you will hear the inevitable, "Well, yeah, but can it run Crysis on the highest settings?" As a game, however, it had a number of faults, including unintuitive suit usage, hilariously idiotic AI, and a lack of focus in many of the massive levels. Crysis 2, as strange as it seems, feels like a direct response to these criticisms. A developer redressing a game's flaws in said game's sequel? No way! That's not to say, however, that Crysis 2 is without its own flaws. While it's a fantastic game worthy of picking up, it's also currently suffering from one of the worst launches we have ever experienced. This is the gist of Crytek's latest effort: an excellent game, but one filled to the brim with experience-altering issues.

Much like the previous Deus Ex: Human Revolution trailer, this one shows off multiple paths to the same ending. To be specific, it shows the player approaching a facility in three different ways: aggressive, stealth, and a mix of the two. There's no developer commentary, but the amount of variation is stronger thanks to the trailer showing off the entire complex instead of one specific section. In each case, the player ends up face to face with an enemy with a hostage, and it's left ambiguous what happens. Once again, the developers seem to know exactly what Deus Ex fans want!
