Jennifer Hale is a long time voice actress, who has appeared on more mediums than you probably thought.

 You only get one time to make a first impression, so you better make sure you get it right! A good first impression will keep one interested in whatever it may be, from books to movies.

Some of the best games have a great opening to draw us into the awesome gameplay that lies ahead. These 5 opening sequences are the ones that I believe to be the best and had the most impact on the industry so far.
