Rating: - Fun... but repetitive, and full of annoying microphone-abusing children.
First of all, I've been a Counter-Strike gamer since CS 1.3 for HL1. The game has always retained the fun factor. HOWEVER, as the community has grown, so has the nuisances. Microphone abusers. TKers. Hackers. You name it. If you can find a clean server where people just want to play the game rather than talk a storm and talk about how they won last night's clan match, then you'll discover an awesome game.
Second of all, even though the game is fun, it gets highly repetitive, very quickly. ... Read More
Rating:  - Outdated but still fun!
Needless to say CSS is one of the all-time GREATEST first person shooter games out there. The game is still played at LAN parties and tournaments everywhere and hopefully will continue to be for generations to come. Along with this particular package you get Half Life 2: Deathmatch and Day of Defeat: Source which I've honestly never played. This box is really only useful for the title game.
However, I will warn that if you're just looking for an awesome competetive FPS to play online with ... Read More
Rating:  - A Simple Game With A Somewhat Steep Learning Curve
I never got a chance to play Counter-Strike till only recently when I bought this latest version of it. I'm however an experienced FPS gamer who played a lot of Unreal Tournament, Tribes 2, Raindbow Six, etc. There are some nice things about this game that I think I should mention first.
My computer is pretty basic for this day in age and it had no problem running this game at max graphics. The graphics are great though. The textures are very crisp and the models are detailed enough to look ... Read More
Rating:  - An excellent game that steam won't let you play
Counter-Strike Source itself is a great game. Repeatedly starting a round over in the same map can get tiresome, but for the most part the gameplay is enough to keep you going. IN my rating, the game itself deserves at least a 4 star rating. Because you have to have the steam client to run it, however the game is, for me, dragged down to a 2.
In my experience, you'll only be able to click on the counter-strike icon, get it to load, get it connected to a server and play, about 45% of the time. ... Read More
Rating: - Eh. Doesn't hold up at the end of 2007
This game isn't bad, and it does have a huge number of players, but it isn't all that good either. The game is completely multiplayer-only, and the graphics and weapons are more complex on the completely free multiplayer portion of F.E.A.R. Other problems include unimaginative level design by third parties, annoying voice-overs, and a strange astandard default keyboard layout. Personally, I feel like I've wasted the ~$20 I blew on this game, given that I already had a copy of that free game. Probably should ... Read More
