Theyāre at the forefront of marketing, rarely show gameplay and have been hopelessly corrupted by ādeveloper diariesā, but thatās not to say we hate trailers. We like trailers. There are even some that we love.
Whether indicative of a game or just the āfeelā or ātoneā of one still in development, the humble game trailer has become an artform unto itself in recent times. Hereās some of 2009ās best, which weāve picked for their raw entertainment value, not for the job they do depicting the actual game in question.

And that about does it! For what itās worth, my favourite was the ODST one. Really slick, expensive, powerful stuff. Who would have thought Hungarian would sound so futuristic?!
Did we miss anything? Let us know!
