We all know that Blizzard's cinematics are some of the best in the world. Which of their CG cinematic(s) are your favorite? If you have a favorite in-engine cutscene, you can share that as well.
For me, it would have to be Fury of the Xel'Naga [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WchnjxKy59g] from StarCraft: Brood War. The grand scope of the opening shot, showing the vast swarm of the Zerg approaching the Temple is just awesome. The bright visual tone of the inside of the Temple is such a contrast to the darkness of the previous shot, and it creates a distinct atmosphere that I think is quite unique. The visuals, although a bit archaic when compared to today's standards, hold up extremely well and are consistent with the lore and concept of what it's portraying.
The score during this scene is probably what I enjoy most. All I can is that it's brilliant, and you should watch go watch the scene to hear it.
So, what's your favorite Blizzard cutscene and why?
