Yeah, sorry. Also, my definition of "safe for work" is different, since everyone in my office gathered to watch this. My bad.

Coworker sent this to me in the morning without telling me what it was. I've seen reverse-time stuff before and I've seen the Gears of War trailer, but I do think this accomplished something specific and (borderline) meaningful that similar pieces have not.
I definitely am not playing the game, partly because I'm zombied out and partly because there's no way the actual gameplay will be like the trailer at all. But I thought the cinematography was excellent enough to be enjoyed on its own merits.

Doubtful. As you can see there isn't even one armed person left alive after that trailer. The entire game will consist of the player lurching around as zombie amongst other zombies, unable to find any brains to eat.
As is to be expected, advanced reviews have been somewhat underwhelming.

Actually, the trailer was less like The Scientist, and more like Memento. It wasn't completely reversed, but had scenes progressing forward from the beginning and backwards from the end, meeting in the middle.

I'm actually impressed with the trailer. I think it was well put together. I don't know if I will play the game yet, I'll wait a while to see what kind of reception it gets. The team that made the trailer though should get hired to do some movie trailers. It's been a while since I've seen a really good one...
Well, I take that back, Battlefield L.A. has a pretty good trailer.

Well. I thought that 'The Walking Dead' was sad (after the first episode I had to stop watching - it was very good, and was just too depressing for me).
But this...
Very effective - and affective. But personally, I wouldn't ever consider playing the game after that.
