Awesome Ad/Horrible Title: Assassin's Creed III - "Story"

Most people take titles for granted. Case in point, this TV spot for Assassin's Creed III is actually pretty sweet but it's called "Story". Seriously?

Awesome Ad: Call of Duty Black Ops 2 - Surprise

I've always loved Call of Duty's ads since they've started to use real people and celebrities under the "There's a soldier in all of us." line. But, this one directed by Guy Richie is the best since the first one with Kobe Bryant.

Awesome Spot: Need For Speed Most Wanted - Start Some Trouble

How do you follow up a spot directed by Michael Bay? By somehow finding a way (besides having Ken Block driving) to make the Ford Focus look awesome.

Awesome Ad: EA Sports NHL 13 - "Our Game"

There may not be a season so this game is going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting. With everything going on (or not going on) in hockey, this spot does a great job of reminding people that it's the game that matters. Even to casual fans like myself.

Awesome Trailer: NBA 2K13 - USA Basketball

I usually hate buying sports games every year. It always seems like a waste of money buying a whole new game for a tiny upgrade. But NBA 2K13 has the '92 Dream Team and the 2012 Olympic Team. This could be epic! Thanks IA for this one!

Awesome Trailer: Prototype 2

This trailer came out way before E3, but since we're catching up on posting old bookmarks, this one still seemed relevant.

Awesome Trailer: ZombiU

This is an amazing trailer for ZombiU, a Nintendo WiiU exclusive. Probably the best Wii game trailer I've ever seen. Very well done. I'm proud of my former colleagues over at Ubisoft.

And for an added bonus, here's the gameplay trailer.

Awesome Trailer: Halo 4

E3 always brings a bunch of cool stuff to post. This trailer for Halo 4 looks like a movie trailer. Very impressive.

Awesome Trailer: Call of Duty Black Ops II

This trailer don't have the 'holy shit' moments that the Modern Warfare 3 one did, but it's still awesome.

Awesome Trailers: Mass Effect 3

I missed the first two installments of Mass Effect, but with the heavy promotion for part 3, I decided to check it out. Only been playing for a little bit, but so far so good. Plays like Dead Space, which is nice. Hopefully it doesn't get boring half-way through.

Awesome Story: Caine's Arcade by Nirvan Mullick

Just saw this on Devour it's one of the best stories I've seen in a very long time. Caine Monroy is a 9 year old from East LA who literally built his own arcade out of cardboard in the front of his dad's auto parts shop. The amazing thing is, because his games are built with the passion and joy that only a child with his imagination could possess, they look more fun than most of the $1billion video games that get released every year.

This kid's amazing. And you if you agree, you can click here to view his website and donate to the scholarship fund that was set up for him.
