I have to hand it to Bethesda, they really know how to show off this game. Another interactive trailer for Dishonored was released today, and in case you're not familiar, these are sort of like the modern-day equivalent to those old Choose Your Own Adventure books some of us had as kids. 

You'll be able to "play" -or rather choose- your way through one of the missions in the game. The interactive system works pretty well by using pop-ups to load different videos within YouTube and I could potentially see people doing an entire series this way. Beware, though. This is an actual mission from the game so if you want to avoid any and all spoilers you might want to pass this one by.

We're currently reviewing Dishonored and though we can't say anything about the game yet, I can tell you that this is one title we've been hyped about for a long time. And considering the games open world, solve a mission in multiple ways, style, these interactive trailers are probably the best way to show off what the game has to offer.

    Apparently there are some codes hidden in the videos (annotations) that will pop up. You can redeem them on the PSN for dynamic themes, not sure if there are any XBox codes.

    As much problems as I have with Bethesda as a developer, I gotta admit I'm glad they're publishing this. They market the shit out of their games.

    I've not been this excited for a game since the first Bioshock or Dark Souls.
