I know your thinking its not much, nor does it add to a game but for me, nothing gets me more settled than a great title screen. The combination of music, video or even static image can really set the mood and many times just leave me hanging on the Press Start screen. Ive heard recently that some games (GTAIV) for example dont even have title screens and its just one long load from the dashboard till you're playing. Gotta say, i hope thats a trend thats not catching on. Anyway, here are mine.

Zone of the Enders 1

(I couldnt find the actual title screen but the real is very similar, except with an image). I think its the music that gets me. It feels like its drawing me in and whatever lies beyond the Press Start screen is going to be some disturbing stuff.

Mass Effect 1

Easily biowares best. The music gives off a depressing atmosphere and when coupled with the shot of the Earth and Moon, it feels really lonely. I loved that.

Ocarina of Time

How can this not be mentioned? I like how the first thing you hear is epona galloping and link comes into the scenes moments later. That is of course coupled with the fantastic scenary and original music. My favourite out of the 3.

I would have liked to put Blue Dragon up there but i cant find a video. I was looking at it today in HD and it looks amazing.

So what are your favourites?

I don't like Brutal Legend at all but the title screen and main menu were pretty cool.

Because Megaman was obviously too cool for a helmet when they filmed him for this title screen.

He is very cool btw. 8)

Metroid has the best title screens, always.

And Brutal Legend's was pretty neat.

Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Bioshock come to mind.

EDIT: Morrowind deserves a mention too.

Flow, because you simply transitioned right into gameplay from the opening title. It was like a portal into the game rather than a true title screen.

Infamous, because the title screen became part of the opening cutscene when you pressed start.

Mass Effect 1 , God of War 1, Metroid Prime 1, Ilove the menu music for Metroid Prime hunters also. The winner would have to be Kingdom Hearts 1

Super Mario 64 because you could stretch Mario's face around and make him look really goofy. It was quite entertaining for my 8-9 year old self at the time

I guess Xenosaga Ep. II had a pretty decent title screen. Metroid Prime for the GC as well. Title screens usually aren't much though.

I am going to be in agreement with those that say Zelda, most of the 3D Zelda games sport some nice title screens especially Windwaker and Twilight Princess.

I thought both the KH title screens were absolutely stellar. Beyond that, I thought Halo: CE's was incredibly memorable, Shadow of the Colossus, and Zelda OOT.

Wolfenstein with that downed B-17 in the foreground with the Nazi troops and tank crossing in the background. Bioshock was also a cool one.

I never got past level 2 (I suck so much at Deus Ex) but the title music definately gets stuck in your head.
