That ethereal one looks really handy. I mean who doesn't want to be invincible, how many times in Oblivion have you wished you could just jump off of something to make a trip easier?

Yes, my first order of business when I stumble upon said shout is to try to make myself airborne with it, whether that be as easy as pointing at the sky and launching myself like a gourd at Punkin Chunkin or climbing a mountain to throw myself off like a faulty paper airplane.

This is a tuffy, i love the time one which negates the faster wep atk spd one, and the freezing one sorta being able to allow many attacks, but the invincible one is awesome for getting away which that part could be negated by the time one. Except the fact you can jump off anything.

Either the Slow Time or Ethereal shout will be good for me, I'll definitely use the Slow Time more, just imagine it in combination with the Archery perk that slows time while in zoom...

The hyper-speed/short-range-teleport one.

When you are in over your head, use it to retreat, then re-steath (yes you can) and sneak back for the backstab.
I'm soooooo looking forward to doing tricks like that.....

Slow time combined with weapon speed seems unstoppable to me.

I don't think you can use 2 shouts at once, but nothing should be stopping you from using the slow-time shout in combination with the slow-time marksman perk. You'll be a machine-gun....

Invincibility shout seems so awesome - especially since I tend to get into messy situations when I play a stealth-character. Sometimes you just need to get out of there, even if it means you have to jump off a cliff!

It'd be the perfect time for an unreal style third person camera to watch what it'd look like at normal speed...

I love Force Balance Push because you basically shout in their face and they go flying.
Storm Call also looks ridiculously awesome.

Depends on the situation...The freeze one seems pretty epic, the storm one would be friggin epic as heck in the right situation, time slow would be great as well....I would have to say the freeze one for now, I loved Paralysis spells in Oblivion

Oh yeah I forgot about that force push one. That will probably be my favorite once I manage to get it, I can be a jedi now!

'Unstoppable Force' is the one where he takes out those Draugr in Part II of the gameplay demo, right? Because if so, that's my favourite... at least for now. I mean, slowing down time, short range teleportation, and calling a Dragon... to name but a few! They're all awesome, I can't really decide. xD

we've seen 9 shouts so far i think (slow-time, supersprint/teleport,storm call, ethereal(invincible), whirlwind, force push,dragon call,fire breath, ice breath), also there is definately going to be a lightning shout (theres a fire dragon and a cold dragon so most likely also a lightning dragon, unless it uses storm call?) so if there are 30 words to learn thats 27 words for all of them to be at full power, so is there only 1 shout left they're not showing us? or did i miss it? or am i confused and there are more?

Is it 30 shouts and 90 words or 30 words and 10 shouts?

I don't think there is reason to believe that shouts do not share words.
Made-up example: If you unlock word A you may be able to use it to unlock shouts ABC, XEA and FAC.

The Storm Call Shout from the demo videos looks amazing. I like it how it seems to really stay with you and do some damage over time.

Similar to the Dragon shout , but Summons beasts to aid you during combat.
