In The World of E-sports there were several giants that have fallen to their knees over the course of its time as an official sport. In fact several of these were probably games some of the older readers will know. Several of these games were some of my favorites and still are to this day. Our first game that had gone down for the count is PAINKILLER. This game was a gruesome Quake like game rose to its place in history by what could be called an accident. It was Put up for the Cyber athlete competition when UNREAL TOURNAMENT, another game on this list, was dropped for administrative reasons. This game had some of the best graphics of it's time. However, this was before the world of graphics were rocked to the core by Epic's groundbreaking, and a personal favorite of mine, GEARS OF WAR. This game was amazing because it had a Havok 2.0 graphics engine and this giant was sadly brought down by Call Of Duty. Our next giant and one that i always enjoyed is Warhammer 40K: Dawn Of War. this game gave the RTS titan STARCRAFT a run for the #1 spot in the world for RTS. This game was amazing because it gave us the ability the Games workshop table top version gave us, the ability to control moral among the soldiers. This game sadly died with the arrival of Starcraft 2. Thanks for your time and this is just some of what you can expect when I get this blog rolling https://docs.google.com/document/d/131a4uJvsU49p15RIeVLMy5f8iABso5m9dsHnwki8QHI/edit

  1. I am very happy to see these amazing games getting recognition. I have not heard of Painkiller, but I am sorry to hear of another game ruined by Call of Duty. I have heard of gears of war yet I am not a big fan, and only have 1 of the games. Dawn of War is a game I have the demo for, and have also thought about buying though I recently talked myself out of it. Starcraft is a game I have heard a lot about and I know it was the number 1 E-sport in south Korea until Starcraft 2 and eventually League of Legends. Overall I loved the artical and I can't wait to see what you post next.
