I have a feeling I going to be slated for this but the opening of Halo was the best part of the game for me:



I know it doesn't count but the bit where you get the hazmat suit in Half Life was amazing as well.

The video posted already of the deceptively intricate menu music and the frankly incredible "story of the legend" intro to Wind Waker is what I'd have chucked up as a nomination for this.

As an aside, from the recommended vids after watching that, my god, even now in the next generation on from the GameCube WW looks beautiful. :wub:

Simply superb. Sets the tone for the entire game perfectly.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

OoT is pretty special also. I'd also put GTA3 up there.

Would agree massively with Zelda, its hard to actually pick one out. The title screen for Metroid Prime is awesome to. Most recently I'd have to give it Xenoblade though. Stunning!

This may not count but for some reason I loved the free tape you got with the original Carrier Command.

Here's a couple of extended versions of intro songs I love.

Soul Edge



Surprised this hasn't been posted yet. An incredible song.

Awesomenauts



Sounds like an anime theme song. Amazing.

Agreed.

If we're talking licensed tracks, however, then these really got my blood bumping for their respective games:
