The Necris Darkwalker in the forthcoming Unreal Tournament 3 (formerly UT2007) appears to be based on the fighting-machines of The War Of The Worlds.

"Darkwalker (Main Battle Tank)
The main weapon will be a powerful twin laser beam which can fire in short bursts; secondary fire produces a tremendous "scream", which would knock opponents off their feet, making them easier targets. It will also have the ability to bend down or pop up in order to surprise the enemy, and as a walker will be capable of negotiating terrain too steep or uneven for a wheeled/tracked vehicle. Judging by screenshots, the Darkwalkers somewhat resemble the "Striders" in Half-Life 2, and more strongly resemble the tripods from H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. The second seat of the darkwalker is a powerful turret that projects plasma in a beam capable of instantly vapourising an unarmoured target (much like in war of the worlds, except much messier)"

Edit: Looking at the size of the man in the secondary manned turret, this thing is HUGE!!!
