10 Most Cinematic Moments in Video Game History

5. Dead Island - Trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZqrG1bdGtg If there's one thing that can be said about Dead Island's trailer, it's that it's unique. The music blends perfectly with the trailer, but the real treat is that the trailer works backwards. It really instils in you a deep emotion to see the family fighting for their life but then to watch the father carry his daughter back towards the zombies before walking away from her, their hands reaching out for each other. Throw in some shots of the family on vacation, a few more of the zombies actually attacking the family and you have a great trailer. It's a pity though that the game didn't live up to it.
