The Top 20 Game Trailers This Generation

What is it that makes a good game trailer? To me, it’s a combination of many elements, showing off gameplay, story, characters, and a general idea of what the game is all about in a well choreographed video; with perhaps some good music playing in the background. What truly makes a game trailer successful is that it has to make you want to play the game. The following list consists of the top 20 game trailers out there. Not all the games ended up being all that great, but these trailers were what made you want to play the game in the first place.

It should be noted that all trailers are for either the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3.
