World War 3 fears have grown today after it was reported that the United States issued an airstrike which eliminated one of Irans most powerful generals Qassem Soleimani.

Who is Qassem Soleimani? Well he was the commander of Irans elite Quds, a branch of the nation's security forces responsible for operations abroad.

The World War 3 fears were subsequently reignited and soon it was trending across various social media circles.

To call it strange would be an understatement.

Twitter feeds that we normally read featuring people complaining about the Nintendo Switch menu screen or FIFA players not getting their weekend league rewards were suddenly filled with WW3 panic.

But for some gamers, we've seen it all before in some guise or another.

If it's not some gloriously over the top Russian general barking orders in Command & Conquer Red Alert 2, it's an elaborate over the top Michael Bay set piece from Battlefield 4.

So whilst we wait for all this military tension to die down, why don't we recall some of the very best World War 3 games to grace out consoles, thanks to the video below by the team at Watch Mojo.

"These are the games that predict the sum of all fears: a modern conflict between first world nations, war with China, Russia & the united States! Nuclear armageddon! The end of days! A conflict to REALLY end all conflicts!"

And here's hoping this WW3 tension dies down and remains very much in the realm of fiction for the foreseeable future.
