The original World of Warcraft cinematic trailer from back in 2004 is still one of, if not my most beloved video game cinematics of all-time. True, some of the sentiment attached stems from the anticipation leading up to World of Warcraft Vanilla’s initial release and the monumental effect it had on MMORPGs and gaming in general — but it’s still just a well-crafted cinematic trailer in general.
From the rugged looking Dwarf Hunter braving a wintry storm with his trusty bear pet on a Dun Morogh mountain peak, overlooking the city of Ironforge to a baleful looking Undead Warlock summoning an Infernal from the Twisting Nether to the epic music accompanying all the action, the trailer is a masterclass in video game cinematics and the inspiration for millions of players around the world, including myself to install the game on their PCs. Of course, we can’t forget about the Night Elf Druid in the trailer, whose agility, speed and grace is exhibited as she races through the forests of Shadowglen just before transforming into Cat Form is brought to life perfectly by cosplayer Narga-Lifestream in the following cosplay gallery.

Ninja Gaiden was my rite of passage at an early age. After finally beating that game (and narrowly dodging carpal tunnel) I decided to write about my gaming exploits. These days I enjoy roguelikes and anything Pokemon but I'll always dust off Super Mario RPG, Donkey Kong Country and StarFox 64 from time to time to bask in their glory.
