10 Most Cinematic Moments in Video Game History

4. Onimusha 3 - Intro

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkIhvprU7FI Capcom seem to enjoy designing fighting scenes for their games and I can see why they do when they get it right each and every time. For a game that came out in 2004, the intro is nothing less than a work of art. Watching Akechi's hair flutter in the wind as his mask is ripped off in slow-motion is something I expect from a recent release, not a game that's been out for 9 years. It's not just the intro though, all the cut-scenes are action packed and show beautiful CGI which earns this game 4th place.
