By this I mean a trailer in the style of say DXHR's or the SC2:WoL trailer, as opposed to say something show casing actual game play or etc. Even something like BF3s MP launch trailer would count even though it is in-game footage.. Does not necessarily have to be CG animation although would like it at least somewhat visually acceptable for current standards.

I sometimes like to watch these/loop them (or movie trailers) on the side as an alternative to music for a change of pace.
 
I have to say, all of Farcry 3's look really good. They put a lot of effort into them.

Doesn't need to be your actual favorite, just trying to get some suggestions to watch by seeing what other people have liked. Much like a "favorite game sound track" type thread. Probably not the only one interested in this stuff either :p

For example I liked the DXHR one (which I mentioned, maybe my favorite overall), there are several different versions of it -

Something done in-game such as Mirror's Edge -

Or even something not quite a cinematic trailer like the BF3 MP launch trailer -

Really things visually interesting, good audio, atmospheric, etc. Also I like animation in general.
 
Deus EX: Human revolution had some pretty killer marketing. The Icarus trailer was pretty epic, but I also thought the Purity First documentary/anti-augmentation propaganda was amazing too and really set the stage for the world Deus Ex is set in.
 
lol Was just gona put 1 or 2, but the more I think about it, the more game trailers i really love.

The Witcher 2 - Disdain & Fear (Great trailer!)

Metal Gear Sold 2 (Still amazing)

Metal Gear Sold 2 (1 more great Trailer)

Deus Ex - Human Revolution (Love it lol)

Mass Effect 1 Launch Trailer (Great Trailer)

Mass Effect 2 Launch Trailer (One of my all time favs)

Mass Effect 2 09 E3 Trailer (One more of my all time favs)

Mass Effect 3 - The War Begins (Amazing Trailer, even though the end of the game was bad, everything up to it was amazing)


I could keep listing them lol. So many great trailers out there specially in the past 6 or so years have have got even better, Most of what was posted before me I Love those to lol, Blizzard alwasy does great work on theres
 
The Halo 3 reveal trailer was damn good, better that the game, even.
 
Diablo II Into Trailer.


Honorable mention would also go to :
Dark Souls Trailer.
 
Mass Effect 2's trailer really hyped me up for that game. Also, Final Fantasy 7's TV spot back in the day made me really geek out.
 
The Assasin's Creed trailer was brilliant, I thought. Watched this a lot when it came out.

Likewise, Assasin's Creed 2 was great. Love the CGI. Never played the games, but liked the trailers.

Jumpgate Octavius trailer - if nothing else then the voice acting. Whatever happened to this game?

Mechwarrior from a few years ago - pretty much what I thought 'mech combat would look like.

The trailer for Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 - why can't real Star Wars be like this?

WoW original trailer, Arthas' Betrayal, Deus Ex already mentioned.

This one does it for me. Powerful, a desperate situation, excellent visual and sound detail, and generous violence when things heat up.
