** The Primordials (also known as Dawn Titans) of the 4th Edition are a mix of this trope and [[Elemental Embodiment]]. The class of creatures known as titans are the Primordials' first creations, who sided with their parents in the war against the gods and in turn created the various races of giants.
** In ''[[Pathfinder]]'', titans were the first creations of the gods, and half of them rebelled against their creators in the equivalent of the Titanomachy. The giants are their degenerate descendants. The titans who fought against the gods were imprisoned in the Abyss, while those who remained loyal live in Elysium.

* The Titan unit from ''[[Age of Mythology]]: The Titans''. In game, Titans serves as the Pantheon of the Atlantinean civilization, with [[Big Bad|Kronos]], [[Light Is Not Good|Uranus]] and [[Token Good Teammate|Gaia]] as main gods, with others serving as minor ones. Barring Oceanus (who is blue-skinned, but otherwise human-looking) and Kronos (who is a giant, rock demon), all of them look like Olympians. Furthermore, it's possible for a civilization to summon a gargantuan, city-destroying Titan to fight for them: Greeks have [[Hell Hound|Cerberus]], Egyptians have [[Big Badass Bird of Prey|Horus]], Norse have [[Our Trolls Are Different|Yimir]] and Atlantineans have [[Magma Man|Perses]]. Yes, they took a little artistic license here and there....
* Titans are powerful units, lightning-wielding-giants, on the Wizard/Academy side in the ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]]'' games.
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'': Titan is an Earth-elemental [[Summon Magic|summon]] who originally caused a great earthquake to do damage to enemies, but in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', for example, he picks up the ground the enemies are standing on, flips it over, and smashes it down. This guy dwarfs half of said game's bosses. The other half aren't dwarfed ''per se'', but they're still smaller.
* In ''[[God of War]],'', barring those who look like Olympians like Helios, Prometheus and Rhea, all the other Titans are mountain-sized beings that look somewhat human-ish. Some also are [[Elemental Embodiment]](s) like Perses (Lava), Oceanus (Water/Lightning), Epimetheus (Rock) and Gaea (Nature)

* ''[[Rygar]]'' has Titans as the main enemies. Some of them are living statues - some of them are apparently little worm-monsters.
* Titans of the ''[[Warcraft]]'' 'verse are, essentially, a race of demigods (stated to be more powerful than some of the gods themselves). Their powers are, untypically for a [[High Fantasy]] setting, entirely based on incredibly advanced technology. They created Azeroth as we know it, amongst thousands of other worlds; however, most creatures used to be robots, and beings made of flesh and bone are a side effect of corruption by [[The Old Gods]].
** They actually resemble sufficiently advanced aliens more then any kind of God or Titan. Therefore, they'll be more at home in a Sci-Fi Space Opera then in High Fantasy. [[Wild Mass Guessing|Consider]] that ''Warcraft'' and ''[[

** The animated series has appearances by Prometheus and Atlas, who are more human-looking and considerably more benign, though Atlas is still a self-centered jerk.
