One of the best developments in video games over the years has been the life-like, spectacular visual effects and stunning cut-scenes that contribute to the story. For the past year, we've seen some amazing gameplay, but the larger than life action in the gaming worlds cut-scenes is one of the best technological advances in the industry. Here are this years top Cinematic scenes in video games.
Bioshock 2 Opening Scene: The opening scene of this terrific sequel to the hit series Bioshock was breathtaking, both visually and in story. From the sweet yet creepy little girl leading you down a hallway to the amazing scenery of Rapture before it was ravaged by civil war, this opening sequence did a wonderful job of seeing into the plot of the game, while introducing the vile Sofia Lamb and her army of deluded followers.
Splinter Cell Conviction Ending: After hours of going through trecherous missions, reliving old war memories, and finding a way to get to the truth surrounding his daughters mysterious death, Sam Fisher arrives in time for a covert operation at the White House, where a rougue group is set to kill the President. After fighting through the White House, Sam must face his nemisis, and decide who is truly his ally, and who is his foe.
Fallout: New Vegas opening scene: Ever wonder what would happen if a Nuclear war nearly destroyed the world, and those left behind were to stumble upon Las Vegas? Well, Fallout: New Vegas, sure answers that question. The opening scene to this hit game shows off the wonders of Vegas, and the fight for control over the city and its surroundings, leaving players excited from the get-go. Because, "War, War never changes."
Halo: Reach ending: After hours of fighting off the Covenent, racing around the planet, finding key artifacts to help with the fight, and defending the planet as it is evacuated, the last scene of the game showcases the Spartans unwillingness to give up, and one mans struggle to keep up the fight until the end.
Mass Effect 2 Ending: By far the best ending i've seen in a game. Full of action, drama, and infinite possibilities, the epic space saga known as Mass Effect arrived at the end of its second game with a bang. Infiltrating a base controlled by an alien race serving the Reapers, sentient machines bent on galactic destruction, Commander Shepperd and his team went on a suicide mission, and this is how it ended, (at least, one way it ended, depending on your choices.) The characterization, drama, and non-stop action all the way to the end makes this the best Cinematic experience in the year in Gaming.
