Whatever 2K Sports is paying their marketing department employees, it’s not enough. The WWE 2K games get mixed to positive reviews, but the promotion of those games is consistent, first-rate, and exemplary. Whoever makes the games’ commercials has a masterful grasp on why fans love the WWE.
Over the past decade, video game trailers have gone from blurry little montages bundled on magazine cover discs to a multi-million dollar industry that exists almost entirely separate from the actual games they’re representing.
Pamela is an upcoming PC game that looks pretty striking for something that’s supposed to be a survival horror game. No gross, gritty environments that are so typical of the genre to be found here!

Had League of Legends been released in the 90s, it might have been released on a floppy disk. Okay, make that a ton of floppy disks.
Meet El Bastardo. He's spent 20 years in jail, all because of some rats. But now he's out—and he's going to get revenge.
One thing I'm looking forward to about Far Cry 4 is the game's interesting-sounding co-op multiplayer. Sony, which is trying to sweeten the deal by letting PS4 players invite friends who don't own the game into the action, just released a new gameplay video showing how the game's collaborative modes will play out.
How is this new Far Cry 4 trailer different from all other Far Cry 4 trailers? No, it's not the guns. Or the elephants. Or Pagan Min in all his Pagan Min-ly glory. Something stands out about the fact that it's set to a cover of "I Will Survive." Seems like a bold move in my book.
Nowhere in video games is the phrase "evolution, not revolution" more apt than in first-person shooters. As proof, I submit for your consideration the latest trailer for Far Cry 4. It's seductively pretty, and willfully obscene. In other words: it looks exactly like Far Cry 3. Only, ya know, snazzier.
The Sims 4 is going to be an emotional experience for many people. Not just real people, either—remember, this is a game about playing god for a bunch of digital sprites who are beholden to your every whim. The latest trailer breaks down the many different feelings you'll be able to force your sims to start feeling…
Hotline Miami 2 is sure to be one of the most violent we'll play this year, but it's even more violent when recreated in 3D with characters from Team Fortress 2.
Watch Dogs finally arrives later this month.

Unsurprisingly, a lot of those things involve…
Necrostorm has released a new trailer for the fighting game Death Cargo, which we covered in a piece last week about the incredible allegations that the game might not exist. The new video highlights a range of different characters in addition to a fresh batch of appropriately gory deaths. In other words, it's exactly…
Clementine's journey through the bleak zombie apocalypse world of The Walking Dead continue next week, when the latest episode of the hit series arrives on multiple platforms.
Hey, remember Skywind, that breaktakingly beautiful mashup of the two classic Elder Scrolls games Morrowind and Skyrim? Of course you do, because all us here at Kotaku can't seem to stop posting about it.
The latest trailer for the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie had some pretty cool scenes, and the homemade version by the folks at Cinefix, with paper sculptures and toys, nails them perfectly.
Now this...this is how you make a dramatic video game trailer.
"The big bad boss is defeated, the coins are collected and the princess has been rescued." Well, the only thing left for you is to undo everything that led up to that.
Sure, there have been plenty of movies about killing Hitler. But this one has Vikings. And dinosaurs. And a power glove, Thor, street punks, a disgruntled police chief... What I'm trying to say is that this movie has everything.
Video game trailers are all lies, damned lies. If they show us gameplay at all, it's cut together in the most exciting possible way. They're custom-crafted to generate hype, and they have the power to make a lousy game look fantastic. But, well... if they're lies, at least they're occasionally beautiful ones.
