Bulletstorm's new trailer might just be funniest. trailer. ever.

Video: Funniest trailer ever? It's a long bow to pull, but Bulletstorm's latest takes the piss - and other fluids - in a classy way.

There are games that take themselves too seriously, but go too far, heading into territory that can only be called pompous. There are games that get that whole gravitas thing just right. 

Then, there's Bulletstorm.

Bulletstorm's about as old school as you can get - big guns, endless baddies, and fragging in an endless variety of ways. In fact, it's fragging taken to the highest of competitive levels, in that introduces skill-shots - chains of violence and destruction that deliver more points the more creative your skills are.

And it's all wrapped up in a cheezy, totally non-serious setting. And that's where the latest trailer comes in, which riffs on arguably one of the best series of game trailers ever made, for a game that is totes serious...

Hmm... beery. Bulletstorm is released late February for all major platforms.

Looks like one of those games where players are rewarded for doing essentially nothing.
1 Kill = 1 achievement type thing

It's not so much an achievement, as points for basically chaining kills.

So, shoot someone = X points.

Kick them, then shoot them = 2X

Lassoo them with your anti-grav whip, kick them, then shoot them in the junk as a giant carnivorous plant eats their head = XxXxX

I played it at E3, and while I didn't want to, I found myself really enjoying it!
