"FPS themed around terrorist vs counter terrorist. If you have Steam you must OWN this game, it's one of the main games that made steam so big today."

I wouldn't call it a good game, it didn't really do anything revolutionary that didn't already exist in previous cs iterations. That said this is electronic crack, If you get hooked this is probably what you'll be doing every time you get bored.

A Solid Shooter
Counter-Strike is one of the most iconic FPS games out there and source is a great part of a good series of games. if you are familiar with it's sequel Counter-Strike Global Offensive then its pretty much the same experience but with a less up to date experience. the graphics and the mechanics are from 2004 but of course since then updated a bit, but nothing bad or clumsy in any way it just doesnt look like some next gen game. Counter-Strike and especially source is a really great game because of its many ways of playing it. Since the game isn't really played competitively anymore there is so many different ways to play the game. Counter-Strike has always been known for its many gamemodes and creative ways to play the game because of the many possibilitïes the game offers. The game is of course primarily focused around shooting but you can play more movement based ways of playing like surfing where you obtain immense speed by running on angled walls and flying around trying to avoid obstacles and play races. Or maybe some more RPG based gamemodes like jail where you are either an officer or a prisoner and tries to make sure everything stays in order or trying to escape. there is no end to what you can do is counter-strike and that is what makes the game so great. so if you are looking for a lot of possibilites for what you want to play or just a good shooter are counter-strike definitely worth a shot

Well CSS, What can I say, I love you. If it wasen't for CSS, I don't even know where I'd be in the gaming world today...Probably playing CoD or some nonsense like that! CSS is a game that you can spend hours on. HOURS. There's so many different game servers and mods to choose from! My personal favorites are DeathRun, GunGame DM, & Climb! Of course there's plenty of other ways to play the game as well! I've spent my fair share playing Hide & Seek, Jailbreak and even just Competitive! All around and fun game!

The best Counter-Strike game in my opinion, too bad we dont see the highest level of competition since its CSGO that is played but still compatible for eSports. I do recommend this game if you dont give a damn about graphics, skins and other things csgo have, i only played this game 200 hours on steam but i have a thousand hours in this game life-time.

A little side note for people who played csgo first than cs:s, there are no cases here! I've seen alot of discussions about players asking how do i open cases and get skins on cs:s? Search gamebanana.com. It has skins for cs:s and other games :)
Good luck have fun and keep healing
