Top 5 Video Game Interfaces!

You buy your brand new game, you open the case pop in the disc and sit down on your couch. Then your greeted by an ugly (or boring) video menu. Of course, games aren't about the menus, they're about the content, but even so I wish that sometimes these video game companies would spend a little more time on the interface that the users is forced to look at when he starts or pauses the game. There are some games, however, that have great menus and start up screens. Here are the top 5 that I have seen.

5. Bioshock - The eerie piano sound effect and the fantastic original score just add to the beauty of the cinematic main menu.  Would you kindly...

4. Fallout 3 - The use of the Pip-Boy and the aesthetic in it's entirety is great. You really feel like your living on the Wasteland.

3. Halo: Reach - The combination of it's epic soundtrack and it's imagery compels you to play. You just want to kick butt and take names.

2. Call of Duty: Black Ops - You are strapped to a chair, there are televisions in front of you, your legs and arms are tattered and covered in blood, all in first person. Not to mention that the transition from menu to single player campaign is flawless.

1. Portal 2 - It's... *tear* beautiful. One of the most anticipated games of 2011 has a good looking interface.  From when you pop in your disc until you hit your option of play, you are infatuated by it's beauty.
