A Videogame opening must set the general mood for the game itself to be good, It could have an Iconic song or Some Foreshadowing or something, What is your Personal Best Videogame Opening?
Mine is here.
Because it just generally sets the games mood and what story there is (NONE), Its also a fun little game, And the song is AWESOME TOO.

Say what you will about the rest of the game, but my god was the introduction for Mass Effect 2 mind-blowing. Thankfully I hadn't had things spoiled for me so I went into the game not knowing what to expect, and bloody hell was it worth it!

Good morning and welcome to the Black Mesa Transit System. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the Black Mesa Research Facility personnel. The time is 8:47 AM. Current topside temperature is 93 degrees with an estimated high of 105. The Black Mesa Compound is maintained at a pleasant 68 degrees at all times. This train is inbound from Level 3 Dormitories to Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities. If your intended destination is a high-security area beyond Sector C, you will need to return to the central transit hub in Area 9 and board a high-security train. If you have not yet submitted your identity to the retinal clearance system, you must report to Black Mesa personnel for processing before you will be permitted into the high-security branch of the transit system. Due to the high toxicity of material routinely handled in the Black Mesa Compound, no smoking, eating or drinking are permitted within the Black Mesa transit system. Please keep your limbs inside the train at all times. Do not attempt to open the doors until the train has come to a complete halt at the station platform. In the event of an emergency, passengers are to remain seated and await further instruction. If it is necessary to exit the train, disabled personnel should be evacuated first. Please stay away from electrified rails and proceed to an emergency station until assistance arrives. A reminder that the Black Mesa Hazard Course Decathlon will commence this evening at 1900 hours in the Level 3 facility. The semi-finals for high-security personnel will be announced in a separate, secure-access transmission. Remember: more lives than your own may depend on your fitness. Do you have a friend or relative who would make a valuable addition to the Black Mesa team? Immediate openings are available in the areas of Materials Handling and low-clearance security. Please contact Black Mesa personnel for further information. If you have an associate in the background of Theoretical Physics, Biotechnology or other high-tech disciplines, please contact our Civilian Recruitment Division. The Black Mesa Research Facility is an equal opportunity employer. A reminder to all Black Mesa personnel: regular radiation and biohazard screenings are a requirement of continued employment in the Black Mesa Research Facility. Missing a scheduled urinalysis or radiation checkup is grounds for immediate termination. If you feel you have been exposed to radioactive or other hazardous materials in the course of your duties, contact your Radiation Safety Officer immediately! Work safe, work smart. Your future depends on it. Now arriving at Sector C Test Labs and Control Facilities. Please stand back from the automated door and wait for the security officer to verify your identity. Before exiting the train, be sure to check your area for personal belongings. Thank you and have a very safe and productive day.

Civilization 4. Hell, that song just won a grammy. And despite civ being TBS, that was a nice RTS animation a la Total Wars.

A tough choice, but I'll have to go with Rise of Legends.
It is just so... well, see for yourselves
I just love that game intro/opening/whatever...

Mass Effect 2. Admittedly the shock of the main characters death would have had a greater effect if Bioware had chosen to keep it a secret, but I still think it was an interesting way to begin the game since most people spent all of Mass Effect making their Shepard a badass only to have him easily eviscerated by an unknown enemy and the beginning of the sequel. Just always kinda stuck with me

I feel ya man, it was the same for me. Mass Effect 2 gets my vote.

Also, what I say about the rest of the game is, it was totally awesome.

...This is...the most moving, and heartfelt intro of a video game, that I have ever experienced in my life. I cried when it was over. It was just...it...I can't put it into words..

Please don't shoot me... ;.;

I actually really liked Borderlands opening. I'll watch it anytime, no worries. I think it appeals because of the song, it just sets the scene in my mind.

Same for me, I played ME2 not long after I finished ME1 and I didn't read anything about ME2. When I saw the intro, I pulled this expression


ME2 gets my vote.

Final Fantasy IX, the first game that completely blew me away with its opening. And to this day no game has ever top the feeling I get when I see it.

I know I went straight from number 1 to number 2 Beforehand I knew nothing about Bioware or Mass effect Totally awsome , somtimes hte less oyu know the better

Bioshock hands down sends shivers down your spine

Fallout New Vegas as well, it works perfectly to totally get you psyched into kicking some checkered suit-wearing ass
