Anyone that plays a video game knows that the one thing you see first, the intro, is what makes you want to play the game. This is a list and showing for the best ever. Post what YOU think is the best video game intro for a game.

I hope this'll take off, there are so many epic game intro's, here's my favorite:

The Technology of this time (2001) made it seem implausible to make such an epic intro, especially for a PS2 game nontheless! But they did, and succeeded - especially within the first minute of the video, a beautiful simulation of firing up an engine, which is the most epic part of the intro, and is what caught my eye. This intro got me excited to play.

GT3 A-spec really was the first PS2 game I ever got, and to me is the best GT game physics-wise, and it is still one of my favorites.

And of course, I always look forward to this intro! [:)]

I always admired the graphics of the gran turismo games. I can't wait for GT5 to come out (can't play it immediately, but I can drool over it a bit more). In my opinion, they have the most realistic graphics for their time of any game. Granted, it's much, much easier to make perfect graphics on a racing game than it is on a, say, FPS, but GT5's preview graphics look literally photorealistic.

^Played it for about 15 hours when it came out and haven't touched it since. It's a great game though, I'll have to try to get back into it sometime.

This is one of my personal favorites:

best intro ever. it really kicks the game off into the mood of the ghostbusters movies and is exactally what i would want to see when ghostusters 3 is released.
i love the ghostbusters movies and i still have alot of the toys from when i was a kid and just the theme kicking in as ecto1 comes into view makes me feel awsome every time. i love it and it is the best intro to a game ever
Making screams come true
