Rohan15: Yes.
What did you like most about it? One of my favorite things was the old crone segments....feeding the birds, diving your past/present/etc, along with what you find out about her later on. Also the crazy book seller.

By far one of the greatest intros ever for a PC game. An awesome real-time strategy game too. They don't make them like this anymore!

Boom! Bang! Heads exploding left and right!

"You bug-eyed Aghhhhhh!"

Bang! Bang! Alien head brains all over the place, in slow motion!

Ys 2 Eternal, or whatever the heck it's called. It probably looks like an assortment of random imagery, but it actually makes sense if you're familiar with Ys 1 and 2.

Thunderscape - GOG. Hurry up and get this game.

Vagrant Story - I didn't actually like this game very much, but I always did like the intro.

Indigo Prophecy started amazingly. Then went a bit downhill, but still worth it! :D

Fallout 2 intro - Great, ultra sharp juxtaposition of the series' sense of humour and the harsh, brutal reality of the setting.

Half-Life 2 - 'So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and, smell the ashes.' Creepy. Sharp. Abrupt. It can't help but put you back in the character.

Mafia intro - The slow opening puts me in mind of a film. Given the way the game plays out, it is very appropriate.

EDIT: Bonus intro:

Wizardry 8 - Kind of simple, but just felt right for the series.
