There are 690 game trailers within the year 2012 on Giantbomb alone, and they far from host all trailers for all games. I feel like they tend to host the best ones though, or that the ones I find really rad tend to find their way on Giantbomb so I'm comfortable in just using Giantbomb as my resource for looking through all the trailers they've got for the year and choosing the best ones from there. There are way more trailers than I would have thought but my rough math of seeing that there's 30 trailers per page on the videos section and there are 23 pages full of trailers from just this year does come out to just under 700... damn. Luckily a lot of them aren't amazing, and all of those are pretty easy to see and remember etc. So it's just a matter of going through and creating way too many tabs, probably crashing Chrome a few times, to get the ones that are the most rad!

This is going to take me some time and because of that I'll post this before I even 'start' and it will grow as I add and subtract trailers.
