Here’s the best video game trailers from 2016. 1.

With a wild looking concept involving skeletal soldiers, umbilical cords and Mads Mikkelsen, the second trailer for the project was a surprise we didn’t expect during the Game Awards.

'Linelight' Indie Game Trailer Reveals A Minimalist Puzzle World of Lines And Light

In a new trailer for indie game Linelight from award-winning indie studio My Dog Zorro, we get a glimpse at a world of light, color, lines and nothing else. Check out the trailer for indie game Linelight below: Linelight has 300 levels across six worlds, with relaxing music, deceptively complex gameplay mechanics and an unbeatable design aesthetic that takes minimalism one step further. Your line, the “Dash”, has only one control: “MOVE.” Color-coded switches can form a bridge, red moving lines are deadly to the touch and secret pathways can help expand your time in Linelight .

"I'm personally very excited about that because I'm looking forward to the gameplay animations conveying a better sense of athleticism," he said. Additionally, Super Mega Baseball 2's stadiums will be more detailed, while Metalhead is usi...
