That’s why, when one hits you right in the mouth and is awesome, you really remember it. Take Fallout 3, for instance, which has one of the best openings to a game I can remember in years.

Nothing quite compares to those marching mechs in VI, or seeing Midgar for the first time in VII.
So what do you guys think? What is your favorite video game opening of all time?
