Youngblood is a good game

I thought Resident Evil 4 did a great job of setting it up with the whole village sequence.

Doom 2 is even worse when you think about the fact that you can stand behind the zombies with your chainsaw running while they still ignore you.

I liked Bioshock Infinite. Partly because they have good introduction to the world that should have you good and ready to want to murder these people as soon as you get a weapon, but also because the monster intro is almost flipped. You are their monster, and when you get introduced everyone freaks out and runs away (aside from the cops).

The most memorable intro for me was RE1. It was my first introduction to horror games and it freaked me out because 1. I was 13 & 2. I was used to games where you were special or this OP hero that cut through swaths of enemies with a machine gun or sword. Now I'm using half of my pistol ammo to down a single zombie and I can't dodge around it and my last save was an hour ago.

I always liked how they introduced the Covenant in the first Halo game no cut scenes no fanfair just some grunts in a corridor and then the very next room you see a whole bunch of Marines struggling against some elites and then you come in as chief and clean them up in no time really emphasizing how strong you are compared to a normal human in that universe
