In this trailer a bunch of skateboarders are transforming downtown Los Angeles into one big customized skate park. It’s a trailer for the new Shaun White Skateboarding game. Probably the soundtrack “Little Green Bag by George Baker Selection” gives some extra power. The spot concludes with the slogan, “The transformation begins fall 2010”.

I’ve noticed a new trend among video games. Because it is a cruel market with hard competition (Playstation, Xbox, Nintendo,..) and all games are becoming better and better, creators are spending more money to advertising. Personally I’m not really a gamer. I don’t have the time for it, and I don’t know which game to play (God knows how many games there are).
But after seeing this short movie for Assasin’s Creed, I would know.

It’s a live-action short movie (14 minutes long) that is packed with beautiful special effects. Released just a week ago, the video now has over 1 million views on YouTube.
And soon there will be a part two of this great short movie!

Here’s the new trailer for Halo, the first-person shooter video game.
It’s just like a scene from an action movie with nice visual effects. The video tells the story of a young man that lost his father in the ‘Halo-war’ and now he wants revenge..

I like the evolution that the promotion of video games isn’t just some images from the game itself, but they take it a step further..
