Facility was not the opening level of Goldeneye, the Dam was.

I've never played Half-life 2, so from that 6 minute intro I was totally hooked.

What no Tomb Raider?

Dark Forces?

You guys need to go back and make a new list. This time pick some games worth mentioning. I will never get that 15 minutes of my life back, and I think I am stupider for having read this.

Yeah, but to have a top 10 opening levels without Super Metroid is like a sin :O

We were aiming for levels that were notable on their own merits, not just for being the first levels in an awesome experience. 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. is a classic level, but it doesn't strike me as that distinctive outside of its iconic status, and the same applies to stage 1 of Contra.
