Please list your top 5 intro movies from various video games.

1) Dawn of War
2) Brood War
3) World Of Warcraft
4) Kessen
5) Warcraft 3

See a correlation here?

Lay of the strategy, man. RPG will rule the day yet. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

1) Return to Castle Wolvenstein
2) Planescape (great atmosphere!)
3) Wing Commander IV
4) Conflict: Freespace ("They're here! Oh god!") - cliché but fun.
5) Warcraft II (I used to have friends coming over just to watch that intro)

Honorable mention: Age of Wonders. The 'dark side' intro. "Of all the others, only Í AM WORTHY" - awesome stuff.

Fallout 1/2 Dude, those intros with the forboding voice saying "War... war never changes." That was so cool. I just wish I could remember which one it was that had the song by Louis Armstrong at the beginning? The "Kiss To Build a Dream On" song? It fit the mood so well.

Call of Duty Finest Hour: I'm not necessarily talking about the intro itself, which was cool, but I REALLY liked the beginning of the first mission when you and several other Russian soldiers are on the boat and your commanding officer is screaming at you, trying to get you ready for the upcoming battle ahead. Really added to the mood.

Okay, so those were the only two I could think of. I always thought Resident Evil 0 had a nifty little intro I guess. I can't think of a lot of memorable game intros.

1. Fallout
2. BG2/TOB
3. System Shock 2
4. Quake 3
5. Wing Commander 4

[Edit: Damn. I thought i'd be the only one to put Fallout and WC4 on the list! Okay, an honourable mention to (and none of you will even know this) Solstice on the NES. Great music and artwork for an 8-bit [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] ]

1. Dawn of War, no contest - I show people with no interests in games that intro
2. Fallout 1/2
3. Mechwarrior 2 "Alpha this is HQ, do you read me??"
4. SC: Brood War
5. Neverwinter Nights

Special mention for Temple of Elemental evil, while not a bad intro, the individual starting premise for each alignment was cool.

1. Brood War
2. Fallout 2
3. Fallout 1
4. Final Fantasy VIII
5. Metal Gear Solid 2

For non-movie intro I would go with the cutscene at the beginning of the first level of Homeworld.
