Medal of Honor: Warfighter Trailer Explodes in our Face

How good are game trailers getting these days?

With all the doom and gloom over the uninspiring sequelisation of gaming and copycatism in the shooter genre (I’m having fun with words today), one element has stood out to keep gamers interested in upcoming titles.

The game trailers.

We have had some top-notch trailers this year, from the live-action Total War: Rome II and Assassin’s Creed 3 Rise  trailers, to the controversial Hitman: Absolution Attack of the Saints and Tomb Raider assault trailers, to the fun Borderlands 2 trailer.

The word to sum up the approach and quality of trailers in 2012: cinematic.

The latest Medal of Honor: Warfighter trailer is a perfect example of this new breed of high quality trailer, grabbing our attention with a blend of story, stunning visuals, and explosive sound.

Why The Medal of Honor ‘Controversy’ is Nothing But ‘Overhyped’ BS

Medal of Honor No Worse than Battlefield 2

Recently, there have been stories regarding the upcoming Medal of Honor, and how it’s causing “controversy” within the general media, and the mom and dad brigade and anti-game people out-n-about the United States.

Well I thought it best to look at this logically, so I’m here today to tell you why it’s nothing but pure ‘bullshiite’ and why the media is simply wasting their time even pursuing the matter.

It all began, yes, who guessed it, on Fox News with the following video. As a result, it has been getting spread around more and more through a trillion different web news sites and internet sources.

The woman who speaks in this video does a terrible job of trying to support her dislike of the game, or stage any real argument to be honest. But ideally, you will be the judge of that, just do take the time to check it out from start to finish. Read why it’s a bunch of cods-whollop . . .
