Not even Pixar can come up with better CG than Blizzard, and that's saying something.

@CrazGamer:
I love Silent Hill's intro as well... as a kid it really creeped me out when you would see the cop driving by you in the dark, and then to find the same motorcycle lying on the side of the road... 
 
Devil May Cry 4, mostly in part to the music.

Mass Effect 2. 
 
Probably the best i've seen recently. When you take control of Shepard and walk through the destroyed Normandy its insane. Then when he is blown into space and falls into orbit, the entire time my mouth was open i was thinking what the fuck.

@SSully: It's not really a spoiler its the first thing that happens when you play the game. Its the first cut-scene, not to mention its in most of the Mass Effect 2 trailers.

@Cirdain: The Bioshock intro is probably the one that gets at me most. Hearing Ryan's voice as the music swells "Welcome to...RAPTURE!"

Not so much the animated part, but the actual intro up until the char select was awesome.

" Donkey Kong 64

On a serious note, the original Donkey Kong Country intro music was actually pretty sick.

I know it's cool to rag on this game, but the BioShock 2 intro made me go "Oh fuck!" and stare with bugged eyes and dropped jaw.

The introduction to MGS2 was better than MGS. For all you people saying MGS, you're crazy. Oh crap a sub just launched a small pod into sub freeze arctic waters that is the most amazing intro video ever. Somehow, I don't think so. But nice try.
 
 @CrazGamer: That's the E3 trailer, not the opening of the game. The opening of the game just has a cold start in a bathroom.

Yeah you're right, we shouldn't talk about video games at all, you know because on the off chance somebody may have not played it.  First of all it is the begining of the game, not a spoiler.  Second of all if you are the sensitive to spoilers the second you read Mass Effect 2, you should have skipped over it.  And third... you know what... I am thinking about this now and I really hope you were being sarcastic... nobody could really be that upset over what he said.
