Among other things, but I must admit I have been somewhat disappointed in the performance of the primary unit...

It may not have been especially interactive in the wake of Half-Life, but it was intriguing and atmospheric nonetheless.

You meet people and get a sense that you have a mundane life prior to the action. Too many games simply start you as the kick ass hero. How many times do you get to be a theoretical physicist and do experiments etc. You see the hero step up from normality to super star. It is a style that has been heavily copied since which says a lot!

I agree, and had you not mentioned it as your favourite I would have.

That is truly excellent. However, I wasn't a PC gamer back then, and seeing it years later, when it has been copied to death, ruins the impact for me.

Left 4 Dead's intro is amazing.

Recently I though Dead Space had a cracking opening. Being in that ship travelling through warp speed, then suddenly you come out and the view is just, well, stunning. Actually the first hour or so of that game is just fantastically paced.
