The scenes in EotW that stuck out to me when I first read them were the horseback flight from the two rivers, and Elyas, Perrin, and Egwene being chased by the ravens.

The whitecloaks in baerlon was also one of my favorites.

I'm a Perrin fan, so I'd like to see the Whitecloak camp scene with Perrin actually fighting, as well as the scenes between Perrin and Egwene. They work great together in The Eye of the World.

In regards to a opening prologue, its going to have one. No doubt about it. Theres so much history that you learn throughout the book that they would have to condense it into a prologue. I think thats the easy route, I think thats the expected route. I would be interested in them doing it without one, and actually talking about the world, as they do in the book.

I really liked the scene where Tam brings down his sword.

The boatride.

Playing music for food on the road to Caemyln.

Darkfriends, you really need to make the characters feel hunted. Thats the feeling I had through the whole story.

Definitely the fall into the palace, the parade, the whole thing.

All the little things that make the story feel real.

The scene that stands out to me is fairly early on when the trollocs break into Tam's and Rand's house. The small battle that ensues and where Rand has to haul Tam to Emond's Field really stands out in mind.

I also like the scenes where Rand and Mat have to play for their food and beds on the way to Caemlyn.

Having just finished "The Gathering Storm", I find the beginning sequence of tEotW the most imprortant.  The prologue showing the madness of Lews Therin and his subsequent suicide and the creation of Dragonmount, then fade to Rand and his "Father" walking down the Quarry Road (3000 years later).  The physical disimilarities between the two should be as obvious as the love between them.

This is an essential scene if the series is to continue to the scene in tGS where Rand returns to Dragonmount to destroy the world after reuniting briefly with his father.  I was struck by the obvious connection between these two scenes, written 20 years apart.  They come full circle, culminating in the merger of the past and present Dragon and the restoration of his sanity, purpose, and balance.  The scenes in the Two Rivers should capture the solid nature and goodness of its people, especially Tam, which is the source of Rand's character and strength

Reply #6 really summed it up quite well as far as scenes and plot points to cover.  I also like the idea that was forwarded shortly after that showing Lews Therin and Co. sealing the Dark One as a game opening cinematic (or movie opening cinematic). 

What type of platform will be used for this game?  I would think that Oblivion style would be a little to free.  Maybe a cross between a First Person shooter where you can sort of see the whole party traveling together? (think Call of Duty, Gears of War or Mass Effect with the whole team visible)  Mix that with a Final Fantasy type role playing platform with definitive points of interest to reach with very little wandering freeform, but wandering designed in to the game based on the story line? i.e. stops at inns, camping, story-telling, etc...
