If there's one thing that can get you pumped to play a game, it's a rockin' intro. Even in this age of overblown cinematics and increasingly elaborate plots spiraling into gaming oblivion, there's something about a few guitar licks and a hint of action that get the gamer juices flowing. Ever since consoles started kicking out high quality music and graphics in the early 90s, we've been addicted to the art of the intro.
The list:
7. Ys: The Ark of Napishtim (PlayStation 2, 2005)
6. Ghost in the Shell (PlayStation, 1997)
5. Guilty Gear X2 (PlayStation 2, 2003)
4. Silent Hill 3 (PlayStation 2, 2003)

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

Toyohashi, Japan is set to host a large-scale Monster Hunter event to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary, complete with themed hotel accommodations.
WTF, No Final Fantasy? I think Final Fantasy VIII had the best one. Along with Suikoden III from this list. I also love original Silent Hill's and Mortal Kombat: Deception's.
The Soul Blade intro isn't on the list? This list sucks...
These guys at gameradar have a love affair with YS or something. I can't believe Dead or Alive Ultimate didn't make it to the list.
I used to cue it up just to impressive the extended family.
