15 Games With the Best Opening and Ending Moments Ever Made

Resistance 2

From the opening minutes, Resistance 2 makes it clear that this is not a fight you can easily best. The sense of scale is almost overwhelming at first, but as the campaign pushes forward, the focus quietly narrows down and the personal tale of Nathan Hale’s worsening condition takes center stage. The final hours trade large-scale spectacle for devastating intimacy, and Insomniac beautifully delivers what might be one of the most shocking conclusions of the PS3 era.
