Gametrailers just put up a promo for their 100 trailers of all time featurette.
 

  I think it's a great idea for them since they have all the trailers in their data banks and it will be interesting to hear their arguments on which trailers are the best. You can find out more here http://www.gametrailers.com/top-100-trailers/   
 
Since the feature starts in September it would be interesting to find out which trailers the Giant Bomb community appreciate. A top three will suffice. Mine are 
  
1. The world of warcraft:cataclysm cinematic trailer  
 
  
  
 
2. The Mass effect 2 Launch trailer  
 
  
 
3. Little big planet 2 announcement trailer

@Lights_Up_The_Shaft: I don't know if you meant MGS2 is a trailer in & of itself or you meant the game's trailers were undeniably the best, but in my opinion it did have some of the most awesome trailers out there.

As for me Deus Ex: Human Revolution's trailer is the best one I cant think of in recent memory, shame most of the CG didnt even make it into the game.

Just watching it again makes me want to get back to playing it, such an awesome game ;)

That Mass Effect 2 Launch Trailer is goosebumps every time i've seen it

You could even pair up f***ing Sesamestreet with that Heart of Courage - Song by Two Steps from Hell, and would still blow your mind

I know it's incredibly recent and that may be clouding my judgement slightly, but Assassin's Creed: Revelation's trailer from E3 this year blew my socks off. Fantastic editing, fantastic music, and like all good trailers, it told a story to the viewer. It's also helped by the fact that it looks amazing too.

@Rufi91: This. Or the Dead Island with Mad World edit.

The Assassin's Creed trailers are always good, especially the one for Brotherhood. Seeing all the assassin's come down on their targets is eziome.

Heh. Get it?

Mass Effect 2 better win

On a side note, it's amazing how much of the game is shown in the ME 2 launch trailer. They show all the way to the end of the suicide mission

The fact that no one has said what will clearly make #1 sickens me.

This is by far one of my favorite recent ones. The music and the way it ramps up with the action... I don't use this word lightly, but it is pretty damn epic.

The Metal Gear Solid 2 trailer is the right answer.

       I don't really know if the Battlefield 1942 intro was ever used as promotional material, it's not hosted or listed as a trailer on GameTrailers. But when most games these days use their intro as trailers, I'm still saying this is the best videogame cinematic I've ever seen.

   The Rock Band Highway Star trailer is just too thrilling and fun for me to forget.(noticed it in the Top 100 montage so it will be getting recognition)
  And I guess another war game cinematic, which kind of depressed me. Never played the game, but someone linked me to the trailer some time ago and it's just amazingly compelling. I'm not a fan of war videogames and the song choice of Audioslave couldn't be much worse for me, but it works well in accompanying the situation and the sound mixing and effects are perfectly composed really playing a huge part in the emotional impact.
  
 
@Masha2932: I found the World of Warcraft cinematics to just get less and less exciting each time. The visual detail is always there and always impressive, but the ability to actually capture or enthrall me into the world just fell short with each iteration. I loved the WotLK cinematic and the unique landscape it brings us to and seeing Arthas again was great, but any emotional impact fell pretty short. Cataclysm was met with almost complete apathy from me.

I've loved all the trailers for The Secret World even though they don't contain any in-game content.  They just make me excited for the game itself and I sort of wish they made a movie like the trailers.   The first trailer is still my favorite, but the follow-ups are good, too.
