The opening monologue for Prince of Persia: Sands of Time:
"Most people think Time is like a river, that flows swift and sure in one direction but I have seen the face of time and can tell you they are wrong. Time is like an ocean in a storm. You may wonder who I am and why I say this. Sit down and I will tell you a tale like none that you have ever heard."
A great setup when paired with the opening cinematic and music to one of my all-time favorite games.

Since most of the good ones have been taken, I'll go with:
"Welcome to Stalingrad, you're about to begin the greatest moment of your life."
Edit: Oh, I forgot one:
"Transcending history, and the world, a tale of souls and swords, eternally retold."
Cookie for whoever guesses either...

"Awaken."
A single word, starting one of the best games ever. Cookie for the person who gets it.

"All I ask is that you also get back my precious mask that the imp stole from me. What? Is it not a simple task...?"
Not strictly the opening line but fuck me, that one sentence started one of the best games to date, just before you step into Clock Town.

"From where you're kneeling, this must seem like an 18k run of bad luck. Truth is, the game was rigged from the start." best thing evar

I'm surprised I haven't seen this one yet
"After the end of World War 2, the world was split into two-east and west. This marked the beginning of an era known as the Cold War."
or how about
"All right back there, time to wake up, ha ha! It's a beautiful day for an opportunity!"

After playing skyrim, any older elder scrolls game feels painful. The combat and leveling are sluggish, magic is a joke, and there are way to many go and fetch quests in place of genuine story. But skyrim doesn't have possibly the most epic opening cinematic in the history of ever, it has a bunch of dudes in a cart talking to eachother.SirBryghtside said:

So yeah, either this, HL2's "Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman."
Or, one which doesn't get enough credit, in Crysis.
"Someone down there wants to be found."
