Video games have such a wide array of genres. With that in mind, what do you expect their trailers to be like? Would you expect a trailer for a turf-war sandbox game like Saints Row: The Third to be about a Japanese game show?

Video Blips:

• We get a good look at what the original Boy Wonder can do in Batman: Arkham City. Who knew all this time Robin just wanted to grow his hair out?

Hit the break to see the weirdest game show hosted by a cat in Saints Row: The Third, a lot of running in Need for Speed: The Run, and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named in Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7.

 

• Saints Row: The Third continues to push the boundaries of ridiculousness with their new character, Professor Genki. Honestly, for a 30-second trailer, I've never been more confused.


300 miles? That's how far you'll have to drive in Need for Speed: The Run. Luckily, you're only required to run 1% of that distance. Wait, did he just kick a police car at 0:53?


• Voldemort poses for us in Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7.  By the way, where are they? That seems like a certain location near the end of the last book…or it could be this place.
