Wow that brings back some good memories.

Best game intro ever has to be Operation Wolf with the Commando 'putting on the gear' bit

First Dawn of War game, only intro that ever gave me a sense of awe tbh.

Cannon Fodder was an amazing game.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wp6Dai3QpY8 My favourite intro though

Crizzy · 1 Jun 2008 at 21:00

Warcraft 2

Starcraft 2 was pretty cool as well.

R-Type is my personal favourite blast from the past on my old Atari ST

Had to be two parts thanks to the 10 minute limit, but still rocks

All good, but my favourite is the original Wipeout on the PSX... love the base when it kicks in

Clearly FF VII > all other intros. The panning out from Aeris to encompass the whole of Midguard, then back in on the train - spectacular.

Then there was Space Hulk- Vengance of the Blood Angels. Loved the intro for that.

For some reason I also really like Vandal Hearts on the Playstation, very minimalistic but a catchy tune.

I like an intro that has some funky music. Cannon Fodder, Red Dead Revolver etc lol.

As for intros that set the scene I think Half Life deserves a mention.
