Best Game Trailers: Let the Cat In

Oh how I so detest the trend of fake gameplay trailers during big gaming conventions. I do however appreciate clever trailers that are not there to deceive but are used to push the message of a game across. Today’s inductee is Let the Cat In, a casual free to play puzzle game by Eforb for iOS, Android, and now, Steam. Complete with a horrible looking CG cat, a distraught old lady singing about the situation she is in, and a cute tune, this trailer is an instant classic. They even managed to put a bit of gameplay footage in there that dares you to play the game with it’s “Level 107” tease. Click here to play the game for free on Steam! The reference to sharp claws in the trailer scares me though…

June 2015 Gaming Analysis

The results shown below are of course based on the combined data from the Daily Game Log which should provide a clear indication of a game's usage frequency. Bear in mind that even if a game is played twice or more during a particular day, it would still register as 1 in the Day Count column below. In a sense, "merits" are given based on how often a particular game can make me play it again throughout the entire period of the  month on a daily basis. A game that makes a gamer play it over and over again or at least spend a lot of time with it... Isn't that what we mostly want from a great game? I don't think it's really fair to count all the way down to the number of hours played since some games only require a short amount of time to properly serve their purposes.
