Even though I dont really play video games, I keep up with whats hot and whats not, pretty much the same way that many folks do with movies.
Today, I wanted to take the opportunity to spotlight the TV spot for Halo 3: ODST. I've talked to many people who have little to no interest in video games, yet are completely captivated by this trailer. For me, its one of the most beautiful commercials I've ever seen, sending chills up my spine when I see it. Not only does it manage to pack a huge emotional punch in the small span of 60 seconds, but the visuals are absolutely spectacular!
No volume boosting, annoying announcers, or half-witted humor, just straight forward beautiful cinematography, and for a video game no less! This would be a great trailer for a movie, and if this doesn't make you want to play the game I don't know what will. In fact, based on the quality of the trailer, it might be difficult for the game itself to live up to expectations of many who don't know the standards of games today and expect it to look like the trailer, but I digress...
There are a couple different versions floating around, but below is the full version:
