What is your favourite game intro?

Getting away from the next-gen wars for a moment, what is your favourite game intro of all time? It can be rendered or in-engine, the choice is yours.

I'm not 100% sure it's my favourite, but one that sticks in my mind is Onimusha 3 on PS2. Absolutely brilliant intro....

Dawn of War

Never before has the awesomeness of 40k been summed up so perfectly:

Perhaps favorite is not quite the word but the intro for TLOU is amazing in many ways.

While the game ran out of steam half way thought Bioshock had a great intro the entrance into the city just set the atmosphere nicely.

in the past few years has to be this

Set the game up perfectly

Interestingly, and something I didn't realise until fairly recently because I only had GTA2 on the PC, the PlayStation version had a slightly different intro with an edited ending:

I find it surreal that the main character in the GTA 2 Intro is Jack Branning from Eastenders!

I only recognise him from The Bill.

Recently it has to be the last of us. If it we were talking trailers then that goes to Dead Island.
