Counter-Strike: Source (PC)

Counter Strike Source is a fantastic game. If you have played on the original Counter Strike or you have played on Condition Zero then you will absolutely love this game. With Valve's patented 'Source' Engine, the graphics and physics in this game have been taking steriods compared to the previous game, these are utterly breathetaking. The way that everything is rendered within the game is flawless. For example on the map dust, there is such a huge difference between being in the shade, and moving into sunlight, there is that dazed, slightly blury effect which quickly dissapears, as if you have really moved out into the sunlight. And it is all rendered ...  Read the complete review

This review will read rather similar to _my own_ other review on Half-Life: Counter-Strike, with a few passages copied and slightly amended - its really the same game with different graphics afterall! CSS is an interesting and graphically updated "sequel" to the original Half-Life Counter-Strike. If you are into FPS (First Person Shooter) games in general and want flashy graphics, this may be for you. In a nutshell, CSS (like CS) is about two teams attempting to complete their objective on a map with whichever team winning the most rounds being the overall victor when the map time limit expires. Now, that of course is how it works in ...  Read the complete review

Counter-Strike has a somewhat vibrant history. Originally designed as a simple mod for the already existing and ever popular Half Life, it quickly took off as one of the most played online games of our time. Even now, the predecessor to Counter-Strike: Source, Counter-Strike 1.6 - remains one of the most popular games on the internet. Counter-Strike in general still has a thriving community of die hard fans, who love the genre dearly. It's probably useful to reveal I'm one of those fans. so this review is likely to be bias from the outset. I will try and keep some objectivity though! The basic formula for Counter-Strike: Source is simple. There are two ...  Read the complete review

Counter strike: source is an exciting and realistic fps (first person shooter). Although it is becoming older in the gaming world and being surpassed by new games with higher graphics and more complex game play it is still one of the most played multiplayer games you can buy. It was voted "Multiplayer Game of the year" by PC Games Magazine when it was first released in 2005. The bonus with this game is that it comes with 2 extra games free when you install the "Steam" application to run the game. These are Half-life 2: Deathmatch and Day of Defeat: Source. Before counter strike I often got fed up of the unrealism of fps shooters. Such as ...  Read the complete review

The Counter-Strike series became a massive hit since it was first released in 2000. Eight years on, and upon hearing Counter-Strike, many people think of the new version, Counter-Strike on their which Valve remade on their Source Engine, and named it Counter-Strike: Source. (Although still the old version named Counter-Strike 1.6 is possibly still the most played game on the internet.) The interface of the menu is very simple, and easy to follow. Along with the single player mode, you can create your own local "listen" server, find online servers and change your options. In the options you can change key settings, video, sound, microphone and other ...  Read the complete review
