"50,000 people used to live here. Now it's a ghost town. I've never seen anything like it."

The intro to CoD4 has always stuck with me. Well, I suppose it's the cinematic of a later scene in the game, but it's the first thing you see. I remember that part in the game gave me chills, and then whenever I would boot up the game, I would watch that whole line every single time, even though I was going to just jump into multiplayer, I had to watch that every single time I booted it up.

I want to say the monologue that opens Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, but that's not personally the most memorable. No, I'll go with

"Nana, nananana na na na, Katamari Damacy..."

Deep and thought provoking? Nah. Memorable? Damn straight.

Dang there are too many, and some of them have already been taken. Oh screw it, I will post 'em anyways.
War. War Never Changes.
Rise and shine Mr. Freeman. Rise and Shine.
If there is evil in this world, it lurks in the hearts of man.

And how about ending lines:
Life...Dreams...Hope...Where do they come from? And where do they go? Such meaningless things... I'll destroy them all!

"Just say... Apple. Easy word, Apple. Hm, How would you say it in a sentence? "MMMM This apple's crunchy?""

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars.

Paris in the Fall. The last months of the year and the end of the Millenium. The city holds many memories for me, of cafés, of music, of love and of death.
-----

And after that there's the first in-game speech.

As I picked myself up all I could hear was the ceaseless drone of traffic. Life went on around me, but the explosion was to change my life forever.
