The Top 7… Rockin’ intros

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.
