What's your favorite game intro?

Oblivion only because of the soundtrack.

Devil May Cry 3

GTA2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5j1qvZRFRk

Donkey Kong Country

The intros/cinematics in "old" strategy games are my all time favorites. Mainly

Age of Empires II

Age of Mythology

both Starcrafts

Warcraft III

and Stronghold.

Just 4 words are all it takes for me to describe the best intro ever.
"War. War never changes".

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes

AC 2

final fantasy 6... how bleak would you like... that forced march under protest to a city in the distance

Clearly a cracktro

:)

metal gear solid

Poker night 2 ;)

I feel so old. Also, this one

From the last century: GRID

Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War

Starcraft II: HOTS

kingdom hearts 2.

Original X-COM! Featuring this guy! And lots of others, who ALL DIE HORRIBLY! It's a cheesy 90s masterpiece.
clicky

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of war 1! That is the best!

Demon's Soul.

I'm not sure if it is my favortie, but it was the 1st that came into my mind.

The Intro of Red Alert 2. I remember all the texts lol..

Borderlands - because of the music

Brutal Legend - because of the humor

there are probably a lot more, but none come to mind right now.

mass effect 2 for me too..

Probably Civilization V

"Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and... shine. Not that I... wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest, and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well, let's just say your hour has... come again.
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mister Freeman. Wake up and... smell the ashes..." :)
