uxtull: Syndicate Wars is not only great, but may be the most nostalgic for me, it was one of the first games I've played on my new PC that I got in November 1998, very memorable on its own plus it nails the atmosphere of the game.
Fallout 2 is overall possibly the best one from my picks, has excellent style and brings a sense of mystery - what is G.E.C.K. and does it indeed work as advertised, and who are the thugs in power armors who shoot the innocent vault dwellers? Well, I have beat the game so now I know.
Resident Evil live action opening is unique for the series, but its the title sequence at the end that makes it one of the most memorable intros.
Nice intro videos you have chosen! And thanks for bringing here Syndycate one; don't know how I miss that one from so many time.

For Resident Evil, man, once I fried a P4 power supply because after I beat the game, I was using an Hex Editor to get access into some hidden features the game have. I think I change a very important value that makes the CPU get crazy as result hahaha.

Ahhh, that's where this song came from:
Angerfist - End

Still it seems a good game / intro, but this one looks better for me:

justanoldgamer: I've replayed that game more than any others and I never skip the intro.
Totally understand you! I never skip KZ 2 intro hahahaha.

Experiment513: I somehow liked the intro of Dead Island. Gave me a bit of shivers. But I never bought or played the game.
The intro or the trailer? The trailer is by far one of the best I've seen. It was designed by <span class="bold">Axis Animation</span>, and here's the high definition version:

The problem of that one was, it had nothing to do with the rest of the game.

Civilization 5 and X-COM:Enemy Unknown intros are really good.

At least they say more than five words! :-p

How come I forgot the Get Medieval intro? How on earth did they get Big Arnold to voice act in it?

"TWU-ING!"

Too bad that game has a 16bit installer, so it is a bit tricky to install on modern 64bit systems. Hmm, how about it, GOG?

Resident Evil 2

I always remember Syberia's intro. Just a great mood piece and a wonderful way to wrap you into the whole... I gotta figure out what on earth is going on here.

Even though I couldn't get into the game and found the mechanics to be less than advertised... I loved the intro to Black and White. (another short and simple way to get folks pumped for the game).

Diablo 2 ranks among the best IMHO:

I also very much like Oblivion. Great job on scoring Sir Patrick Stewart. Very Lord of the Ring-ish with the musical score, sweeping vistas, and voice-work to get you started. Plus, the beginnings of almost any RPG is my favorite part.

Damn right man! Martial combat, robots, explosions, demons, strippers and quanta cola!
A timeless classic.

P1na: I still watch the Soul reaver intro video when I'm bored. It's just awesome.
Same here. For me the two best intros are that one and this one (surpriesed no one posted yet)
