This came out a while back, but I really like the trailer.
From Wargame: European Escalation.
The cutscene isn't that great in and of itself. However, in context it is actually rather disturbing.
The game didn't have much of a plot leading up to this mission. It was just random scenarios involving NATO going up against the USSR and Pact nations (i.e. 'wargames,' essentially).
Then, out of the blue on the last NATO mission, the game - rather matter of factly - announces that the nuclear missiles have been launched, and the movie shown above plays.
The casual and utterly deadpan way the narrator (who up to this point, had no real distinguishing personal characteristics) talks about the nuclear holocaust, his rage at having lost his family, and his ruthless intention to take revenge for their deaths upon the political leaders responsible, is actually kind of chilling, IMO.
It's the end of the world as he knows it, and he "feels fine," apparently. :lol:
I like it, there were plenty of this type of game way back, but the whole international nuclear war thing seems fresh again.
How about GOT yesterday? A trippy episode for sure.

The trial scene was Dinklage's best performance on the show to date.
Here are a couple of my favorites:
Absolutely crazy game, for anyone who hasn't played it. lol
