Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon: Meet the Dragon. Coming to in a cave on an unfamiliar island, Rex Power Colt hesitates as he exits the cave, just as a blob of viscera drops in front of him. He looks up to see what made the mess and the Blood Dragon's big fucking head is hanging directly over the mouth of the cave finishing off his snack.
Bioshock Infinite: The first 5 minutes of the game is holy shit good, like visiting Rapture for the first time but at a higher altitude.
Forza 5: Prague in a Hennessey Venom. Pulling a clean lap with a Venom on a speed track like Le Mans can be difficult, but pulling a clean lap at Prague with that 1000+ horsepower ass-happy, straight-line monster was top-tier gaming nirvana for me...I'll understand if you don't understand.

Tomb Raider: The battle for shantytown and the boss fight against the pottery samurai...good shit, amigo!
Fast and Furious: Showdown. Demanding my money back for a game that I rented...I won't forget that soon, and neither will the guy at the video store.
Metro: Last Light. Troglodyte surfing...catching a ride with that fisherman guy across the underground lake, only to find out that the Commies had already crossed and stirred those things into a frenzy. What the fuck were those things, anyway?
Ryse: Son of Rome. Storming the English beach while the Roman ships are being destroyed in the surf...it was D-Day with finishing moves and giant chains.
AC IV: Black Flag. I got to be a pirate...and I was fucking good at it.

You were in the air in Prague? Is that even allowed in real life?

I've been in the air in real life, but it was in a Ford Maverick not a Hennessey Venom.

So was I, on a woods road at night in a 1968 Plymouth Fury at 60MPH. I had a new car so I didn't care if I ditched it. The hair was prickling on my balls.

Learned to drive in a sand rail preteen and was "in the air" all the time. Also was upside down a couple times,
.
I think it was a great way to learn what not to do on the road. 5 point harnesses rock.
That Henessy's a riot and twitchy as all get out, anytime you get a clean lap it's an accomplishment!
