Review

Counter Strike is a game for which I have some mixed feelings because from the moment I start to play it there’s a constant flow of adrenaline and I can’t make myself stop playing. In the same way, I always get angry for not being as good as other players!
Ok, let’s go to the game. Counter Strike is a modification by two fans of the acclaimed Half-Life. As the specialist calls it, it’s a tactical first-person shooter video game, where you can choose two sides: terrorists and Counter terrorist. In addition, you can play in four modes: rescue/hold hostages, bomb target/defuse bomb, escape from/guard an area, and assassinate/guard a VIP. These might not be one of the most original aspects of the game, but have been well implemented. A problem I have faced as a player is that teams are capable to buy better weapons and gear as they win, so if a team has a winning streak it will have stronger firepower than the other, and therefore will be in a clear and unfair advantageous position.
One of the things I like the most about CS is the ability to choose weapons, according to your “financial status” during the game. The player’s range of option start at grenades, pistols, shotguns, submachine guns, assault rifles, and finishes in sniper rifles. Being good at each of them, is not so easy at least for me! So what I recommend to players is to stick to one you feel comfortable and go on with it.
To sum up I’d say that despite some minor shortcomings, the game is simply great and terribly addictive. I recommend this game to all, even though, after a while, they will beat me on a game.
Advantages
  • Great gameplay, sound and choice of weapons.
Disadvantages
  • Too Addictive. You'll play for hours and hours!

Counter-Strike -Is the father of FPS PC shooter games-later was brought to console has been around since the fat32 format era 98/98se/me. It runs on the half-life engine,It's smooth performance and small size make It Ideal for lower power Computers with average video cards-The Weapons Selections and gameplay setup are top-Shelf.The Sounds on CS are still the best-there hasnt been a game to top It yet-sure there are crazier weapons in other games-but this game sounds closest to the Actual weapons-I'm an avid gun collector-and lets face It--what would you rather have Harley quality or moped wimpyness-there you go,Harley sound-classic game play-Just give It a try when It comes to First Person Shooters It's in the top Ten All time STILL

Steam was created for a couple of reasons-Cheifly (allthough Steam-Valve would never admit too) was to eliminate Pirating of Their Games-there are some other reasons-centralizing Servers for example-allowing access to more servers-Chat-also the option to create and make your own teams-another Plus about steam is It remembers your game forever-no more time-consuming re-Installation and looking for CDkeys-Lastly All the Free Downloadable games (Even the Demos are fully funtioning-just less maps)updates for versions are right there in steam-great for try before you buy scenario.plus the updates are there.It makes It easy To get all the CS-Source/Bluedshift etc-It's Also the central server for all the halflife games-just search and all ypour games are in a list-You can EVen Add NON valce-Steam Games(Any Game to you list.Everthing in one place....only negative is It can be a bit of a resourse hog but It's worth It :
