WCG Official List Of Game Titles Announced!



Finally, after a long wait, WCG has announced another seven additional game titles, in addition to the first 5 game titles which were announced on January 2009.

However, the selection proved to be among the most shocking ones as Need For Speed and Command & Conquer series are not on the list.


FIFA 09 survives the major reshuffle of the official game titles as the game is selected for the ninth year in the row.

As the replacement for NFS, Trackmania Nations are chosen to replace NFS as the official game title for Racing Games. This would made up the disappointment after the announcement of the closure of ESWC organizers, Games Services last week.

Red Stone was selected again for the second year as the official game title for MMORPG.

Carom3D completes the list for official game titles for PC and XBox games, as the game is selected for the third year in the row.

WCG '09 also witnessing the return of Mobile Game category where two games are selected which are the popular racing game, Asphalt 4 and Wise Star 2 which is the puzzle game, as far as we know from WCG.

WCG also announces that Dungeon & Fighter, an MMORPG-based game will be featured as Promotional Game Title for WCG 2009.

With the announcement settles the riddle of WCG 2009, let's list out all official game titles for WCG 2009

  • Counter Strike 1.6 (PC)
  • Starcraft: Brood War (PC)
  • Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (PC)
  • FIFA 09 (PC)
  • TrackMania Nations Forever (PC)
  • Red Stone (PC)
  • Carom 3D (PC)
  • Guitar Hero: World Tour (Xbox 360)
  • Virtua Fighter 5 (Xbox 360)
  • Asphalt 4 (Mobile)
  • Wise Star 2 (Mobile)
  • Dungeon & Fighter (Promotional Game Title: MMORPG)


It's sad to see Vic Viper could not have the chance to defend his title on WCG Malaysia with the removal of C&C from official game titles. Records from ESWC 2008 shows that Luige would stand a chance to claim his stake again as Trackmania champion but can M1-Heaven overcome the odds for being the master of racing?

Anyway, stay tuned for more updates as we wait for any official announcement from the national organizers of WCG to announce the date of WCG Malaysia. We would hope another WCG Kick-Off would be in place before the gaming season starts.

Au revoir! xD
