Counter-Strike: Source

THE GOOD:
- The Graphics. The Source engine really kicks ass.
- The realism. Physics, guns, damage... All mostly realistic.
- Customisable. You can create (with the right gear), install, and download hundreds of new custom maps, including imitations of old 1.6 maps like Inferno. You can download skins for weapons and screens. You can customise spray paint images (a kind of 'avatar' which you can spray on a wall). There are currently 4 player models for Terrorrists, and 4 more for Counter Terrorists. And more.
- Servers, clans and Admin status! I'm an admin, and havn't ever payed a penny to anyone since I bought the game itself. Providing you have patience and half a brain, along with manners and a friendly side, you could be in a clan in no time. Which could mean Admin.
And to those interested in running your own server, you can get a massive one for about £40 per month if you know where to look. Ours is hosted in the Netherlands, for example. With...

THE GOOD:
1. great player skins
2. rag doll physics
3. the two new guns available
4. the new maps

THE BAD:
1. the old maps like inferno and mansion are gone
2. the shots may be recorded more than once (which is good if you are shooting but bad if you are getting shot at)
3. the fact that the AK-47 takes a bit of time to master
4. the big number of hackers who spoil all the fun
5. the immature kids who have bad sprays.

SUMMARY:
this game is the latest game in the counter strike series and is really different from the old counter strike. Counter strike source comes out with Half-Life 2 and is really worth it. CSS is a first person shooting on-line game and is great fun. The aim of the game is to plant a bomb and kill all the counter terrorist if you are a terrorist, and to rescue hostages and kill all the terrorists if you are a counter. CSS is very easy to play and i recommend a surround sound stereo system to spot enemies...
