"I Am Alive" Trailer is Chilling

There's no doubt about it. There were way too many awesome trailers that emerged from E3. One of the most impressive things was the trailer for a game called I Am Alive, the latest project from Ubisoft and Jade Raymond, the developer of Assassin's Creed.

There are a few things that get me about this trailer. For one thing, the game isn't a sequel, which is a huge relief. Yes, Mega Man 9 and Street Fighter IV and the other dozens of sequels do look pretty good. But my biggest complaint (especially for Nintendo's conference) is the lack of new, original ideas.

I Am Alive takes place in Chicago after a natural disaster of tears the city apart. Frankly, I think the scariest part of the trailer is how realistic the city of Chicago looks while it's being ripped apart. When I watched it, I said "Oh man, isn't that right near where I go to pick up my friends?" It's absolutely chilling. Check it out.
