Here’s nine to get you started. There will be a test.

Tales of Monkey Island Collector’s Edition trailer
Digital downloads are all very well, of course, but there’s just something about the sight of a shelf full of game boxes that makes you think “gosh! If I ever move, I’m going to need two trucks.”
Nevertheless if you go in for all this physical media stuff, TellTale’s episodic Tales of Monkey Island is getting a nice shiny Collector’s Edition just dying to be arranged by alphabetisation or colour-coding. Have a look at the trailer through the break.

Dynasty Warriors 7 trailer shows weapon switching
Let’s bond, readers. What kind of games do you like? Oh, really, that’s so interesting! I feel we are closer than ever!
I like the kind where you push the same button a lot, very quickly, while shouting at the screen and blissing out on crazy Japanese outfits and speculating on which of the cast is in love with the enemies they are walloping. So this new, weapon-switching Dynasty Warriors 7 trailer is right up my alley.
