    Unless you are physically unable to do so, go out and pick up a copy of Counter Strike…and if you are physically unable to do so, give a friend $50 to pick on up for you. Believe me, this is the shooter/combat title of the holiday season and a very good way to hold yourself over until Halo 2 is set forth on the Xbox. With the full support of Xbox Live, Counter Strike is certain to keep your trigger fingers happy while you take on the competition online. A game like... Read more

    Starting as a mod of one of the greatest PC games of all time, Half-Life, Counterstrike revolutionised online gaming with it's class structure and the way that it forced players to adopt a team mentality as opposed to just looking out for number one the whole time. The title kicks off with 18 maps and more on the way through downloading on XBox Live. All maps are beautifully designed for great gameplay that is fast and free flowing. Not only that it also caters for the... Read more

    The biggest complaint about CS on the Xbox is the graphics, but graphics had nothing to do with what made Counterstrike popular in the first place. Which brings up the question: What made Counterstrike into such a huge phenomenon? The obvious answer is that it was fun, relatively easy to learn yet intricate enough to reward practice. The same could be said for most successful games. The only thing not on that list is that Counterstrike for PC was free. Obviously, the... Read more
