Gamescom trailers // Brutal Legend

And of course there is also a new trailer for Brutal Legend revealed at the Gamescom in Cologne. Who could have guessed it after the tons of trailers released for the game already. I couldn’t, i thought(hoped) the track-list revealing rubiks-cube solving trailer was the last we would see before the release but i was wrong.
