GamingRevenant

GamingRevenant (formerly known as GamingReviews), is a Belgian YouTuber that specializes in the Zombie Escape mod for all Counter-Strike games. He also started reviewing video games around October 2014 until April 2016, but ended the series in favor of the regular Zombie Escape content. He is mostly known for popularising the mod through gameplay videos, of which arguably the most well-known is ze_minecraft_v1_1.
==Counter-Strike Versions==
Primarily GamingReviews started uploading Counter-Strike: Source videos on the Zombie Escape mod, doing so for a solid 3 years before the release of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. During this time he started getting exponentially more popularity as his Minecraft-themed Zombie Escape video boosted his channel. Before Global Offensive released publicly, he and one other mapper (Luffaren) acquired a beta key from PlagueFest's staff to create a brand new map before the release date of 21th of August, to promote the new version of the mod and attract new players. This resulted in one of the earliest Global Offensive videos for Zombie Escape.
He ended up publishing only a single video of the new mod (one day after release), following a 2-year gap realising that when played on a full server, the new engine mechanics and server settings were subpar compared to Source. Instead, he continued releasing Source videos where the majority of the population was still playing. It's only been since March 2015 that GamingRevenant finally started publishing Global Offensive content more regularly, as the mod became more refined and gained more traction. His most popular Global Offensive video is themed on North Korea's current events.
Eventually, GamingRevenant started getting more interested in the original Counter-Strike (also known as Counter-Strike 1.6 or CS16) due to popular demand in the comments section for many years. Having never played that version before, it took him a while to adapt to the movement and feeling of the older Goldsource engine, but ultimately published his very first 1.6 video in May 2016. Having originaly very low expectations of such an old game (and thus the oldest version of the Zombie Escape mod), it quickly changed when he started releasing gameplay videos of maps with movie-themed elements in them, such as Jurassicpark.
Because of the massive popularity of 1.6, it became the most prominent version featured on the channel since 2018. However, he still uploads videos of all three versions to date, and tries to mix them up as much as possible. Since 2021, he has also started uploading more Zombie Survival Mod gameplay videos to introduce yet another variant within the Zombie mod universe. Occasionally, he tries to complete retro and oldschool videogame walkthroughs on the hardest difficulty settings.
