Wow.

There have been some great opening cinematics for games over the years, and a lot of memorable efforts would come to mind if one were forced to write a list of favourites, but this intro video for Fable III is simply amazing.

It has a bit of a Pixar-style flair mixed with classic, distinct British animated humour, making for an absolutely fantastic, thrilling and inspiring beginning to what is sure to be one of the year’s best games.

Also: Watch out for the awesome ‘chicken kicker’ in-joke (I don’t condone the practice, but Fable players will know what I’m on about):
