Pining for Pixels #100 - The Top 100: #96 - Unreal Tournament

Red Rooster

Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!

As this is episode #100, I thought it would be a good time to do my next entry in the top 100 games of all time list! This time we are at #96, and my pick for this one is the PC classic multiplayer shooter, Unreal Tournament. This was the game that really got me into multiplayer FPS games like no other. I had previously enjoyed games like Doom 2 via online PVP, although achieved through rudimentary connections. This game blew the doors open on what kind of gaming experience one could have in the genre. It was ahead of its time with the variety of game modes and brutal weapons, and really got me to experiment with different styles of play like sniper. This game will always hold a special place in my heart and I still fondly think back to it, pining for the game to return to modern platforms to relive the arcade twitch shooter style once more. Tune in to hear me constantly remember sniping other players on the Facing Worlds CTF map!
