Talking of great intros, looks like XCOM: Enemy Unknown hasn't been mentioned yet. The very successful remakes/sequels are decent games, but the original is head and shoulders above them when it comes to the atmosphere. Just a different level of oppressive paranoia and horror compared to the plasticy look of the new games.



Raptor: Call of the Shadows is another classic which I have always adored for the atmosphere even though the game itself is not very good in my opinion.
