I was recently thinking about how some PC games don’t ease you in, they grab you from the first second and don’t let go. Meanwhile, others can take an hour or so to build before unleashing a powerful cinematic and then dropping the title screen while your mouth hangs open.

I've personally seen how both methods can be engaging. So, I decided to round up seven of the most compelling intros I’ve ever played.

See if your favorite made the list.
