"damn, those Alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride."
not very philosophical, but it best captures the character and the game.

That was a good one. Star Wars: Republic Commando was a great shooter from start to finish.

From where you're kneeling, it must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck. But the truth is... the game was rigged from the start.
?Benny, just before shooting the Player Character in the head at the beginning of Fallout: New Vegas

EDIT: Damn, half ninja'd but oh well still a great quote

"Stephen King"... what?
Alan Wake, nice.

My Assassin's Creed 2 opening was already ninja'd, so I guess I'll do Call of Duty 4, when Al-Asad shoots you in the beginning:

"This is how it begins."

Man, do those words go well there.

"I am Gabriel Angelos, Captain of the Blood Ravens."

awesome because of the awesomeness that comes afterwards; and great voice acting by Paul Dobson

"And then... he falls to his death... I'm just foolin' ya"

Set the mood so well for Bastion (and yes, one of the first things I did was doing a summersault into the void)

Mmm, Half-Life. So delicious.

"This is Rupture Farms... They say it's the biggest meat processing plant on Oddworld."

Well it's memorable for me...

Oh you beautiful son of a *****! I never expected someone to beat me to the punch with this opening line.

Just hearing the phrase "This is Rupture Farms... " in Abe's signature voice is enough to give me goosebumps.

Out of the darkness they came with a hateful will to destroy humanity. We fought long and hard and now we are lost for they have taken their evil war into our past. Traveling through time they have sown corruption, unraveling the fabric of our history. Our last chance is to fight back and take their war to them.
