Seriously, no one has even mentioned Max Payne?
"They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger. And then it was over. To make any kind of sense of it, I need to go back three years. Back to the night the pain started."

Shadow The Hedgehog.
Say what you want about the game, that opening was cool. The song was kick ass too.

I don't know if this counts, but Gurren Lagann starts with 15 glorious seconds of the screen being drowned in explosions. Greatest opening of anything ever.
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.
You're... from Baker... Tell Baker that I told him all that I know already.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold.
My favorite, more than a sentence though, more an opening speech...
I'm talkin' about friendship. I'm talkin' about character. I'm talkin' about...hell, Leo, I ain't embarassed to use the word...I'm talkin' about ethics. You know I'm a sporting man. I like to make the occasional bet. But I ain't that sporting.
When I fix a fight... Say I pay a three to one favorite, to throw a goddamned fight. I figure I got the right to expect that fight to go off at three to one. But every time I lay in bed with this son of a ***** Bernie Bernbaum, before I know it, the odds is even up. Or worse, I'm bettin' on the short money.
The sheeny knows I like sure things. He's sellin' the information I fixed the fight. Out of town money comes pouring in. The odds go straight to hell. I don't know who he's sellin' to...maybe the Los Angeles combine. I don't know. The point is, Bernie ain't satisfied with the honest dollar he can make off the vig. He ain't satisfied with the business I do on his book. He is sellin' tips on how I bet. And that means part of the payoff that should be riding on my hip...is riding on someone else's.
So, back we go to these questions...friendship, character, ethics. So, it's clear what I'm saying? It's gettin' so a businessman can't expect no return from a fixed fight. Now, if you can't trust a fix, what can you trust? For a good return, you gotta go bettin' on chance, and then you're back with anarchy. Right back in the jungle.

He who fights with monsters should look to that he himself does not become a monster.. when you gaze into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you.
"Sorry for the wait Mr. Flores, I'm ready to take you now."
Ah, who am I kidding. Nothing can compete with the FO starting line.
"In chaos theory there is a concept known as sensitive dependence on initial conditions."
Thats not really a starting line though.
This one is good:
"You girls strapped in nice and tight now? Outta your mommas ass!"

"All I need to know Cortana is did we lose them?"
"I think we both know the answer to that!"
The lines that started a change in Shooters!

"What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machine. Escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds".
Saying it doesn't do it to well, and it's longer what what I've written. See the intro video itself.

There's just something about it. Also sets up the game and the expansions.
