A beautifully crafted videogame opening can be the difference between someone deciding to play a game for one hour… or ten.

I’ve decided to make a list of my favourite videogame introductions, selecting ten examples I believe are a must play, to highlight a few of the occasions where developers have knocked it out the park.

Here's my list, comprising of:

Prey
Dead Space 2
Half Life
Halo: Combat Evolved
Resident Evil 4
Doom
Metal Gear Solid 2
Mass Effect 2
The Last Of Us
BioShock
