Counter-Strike 1.6 - pc
StarCraft - pc
Warcraft 3 - pc
Quakelive - pc
tekken 6 - ps3
FIFA 2010 - ps3 (even though pro evolution is way better)
Halo 3 - xbox360
maybe sc2 but yeah its still beta so
I can't imagine how you could multiplay this game. As a pvp i mean.
Probably high tech phones allow multiplayer connectivity for such games.
my beloved esport games :D
It seems ok about "pvp". Looks like a mix between nfs and tmn... or Mario Kart xD. But not so fun :p.
i mean, you grab little boxes to increse speed in a nfs2 map...
I 100% agree that QL should have been added. I personally would have preferred SF4 over Tekken but that's personal preference I guess.
Not totally sure about these random casual games leaking in to WCG over the years. I struggle to see how GH is a title worth pushing as a competitive (and therefore suitable) title and I've never heard of Asphalt 5...
In the USA, we have always done open qualifiers for the mobile games at our National Finals that people can just walk up and participate in, and it gets all kinds of casual people interested in WCG, which is good for the sport.
