Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Reviews

Based on 7 critics - Overal Score: 85 / 100

GameInfo: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago. CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more. "Counter-Strike took the gaming industry by surprise when the unlikely MOD became the most played online PC action game in the world almost immediately after its release in August 1999," said Doug Lombardi at Valve.
"For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS' award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac."

NowGamer Back in 2003, Valve released a port of its phenomenally popular Half-Life mod, Counter-Strike, exclusively on Xbox. It was, in many ways, the perfect replica of its PC counterpart, offering console gamers the first chance to immerse themselves in the strategic first-person shooter with minimal tweaks to the original design.

Gaming Bolt Gaming Bolt - Ah, Counter-Strike. Memories of struggling against aim-botting Chinese players, trying to figure out how they play and why I suck so much, and finally settling for some glorious low ping LAN gameplay made me realize the amount of depth the game has. It needs no introduction, really. Read Full Review

EuroGamer The core of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a reminder that quality can be permanent rather than fleeting, and the new additions give us new reasons to take interest and - hopefully - another way in for people who are ready for something different. Read Full Review

GamesTM CS: GO stands as a glowing reminder that quality game design is rewarded in longevity and variety. Valve has not only updated the shooter but has completely outclassed its contemporaries. This is Counter-Strike, whatever the format you choose to play it on, and there isn’t a higher recommendation than that. Read Full Review

JPS Counter-Strike is still going strong in the PC community to this day, but console gamers haven’t seen that title on their system since the game was ported on Xbox back in 2003. Between now and then, Call of Duty has set up residence on consoles and has become the industry standard for FPS games — exactly what PC players think of CS. With Activision’s annual title holding a majority of the shooter market, can CS:GO’s updated classic gameplay survive on more than nostalgia? Read Full Review

ChronoGamers If there’s anything you can say about Valve, it’s that they are some smart people. From starting Steam, to creating the Source Engine, they’ve been key to keeping the PC gaming industry alive for years now. Another smart thing that the company did was years ago, when they hired the people who made Counter-Strike, a mod for Half-Life. Back in those days, I was a stupid kid too dumb to know what a mod was… Let alone knowing how to install and play such a brilliant game. When Counter-Strike Source was released though, I became addicted for months. Years later, after expansion packs and the particularly popular Counter Strike Source remake, Valve are ready for a new entry in the franchise. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has hordes of fans ready for the ground-breaking shooter’s return. After learning much over the years since Counter Strike Source’s release, with titles like Portal, Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead, Valve is trying to bring back a classic franchise. Will CS:GO stealthily infiltrate the gaming world, or just bomb? Read Full Review

Black Ops II Multiplayer Preview

I’ll get this out of the way from the start: I don’t see the attraction of the Call of Duty franchise, especially Black Ops. After Call of Duty 2, I’d say that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the best entry in the franchise as it retained realism and didn’t go for Hollywood thrills and spills over authenticity. With Black Ops II authenticity has definitely gone completely out of the window and so I find myself being even less interested than ever before. That being said, Black Ops II‘s multiplayer definitely felt the most enjoyable to play in a very, very long time. Read More

Bethesda removes Prey 2 from its product line-up

"It seems that Bethesda has silently removed Prey 2 from its product line-up. A quick look at Bethesda's official site proves these claims. Prey 2 is nowhere to be found. Prey 2 was in that page a while back, so this is definitely a game that was removed by Bethesda themselves. Not only that, but apart from that earlier statement, we have not heard anything new about this game." Read More

Lilly Looking Through Gamescom Preview

Sitting down in the Headup Games booth, we were greeted by a big poster of a little girl wearing huge goggles; the literal poster-child of a game called Lilly Looking Through.

Prototype 2 Reviews

Based on 4 critics - Overal Score: 76 / 100  

GameInfo: The sequel to Radical Entertainment's best-selling open-world action game of 2009, PROTOTYPE 2 takes the unsurpassed carnage of the original PROTOTYPE and continues the experience of becoming the ultimate shape-shifting weapon. You are Sgt James Heller, husband to a deceased wife and child and a soldier left simply to die. As the game’s all-new infected protagonist, players will experience Sgt James Heller cutting a bloody swathe through the wastelands of post-viral New York Zero. Equipped with unparalleled new shapeshifting powers, players will gradually build a vast genetic arsenal of deadly new biological weapons and abilities as they hunt, kill and consume their way toward the ultimate goal - to kill.. Alex..Mercer! Are you ready to murder your maker?



Critic Score

The Armchair Empire ...just doing some of these side activities will make Heller feel overpowered by the mid-point of the game. And by the end... The climatic battle is a bit of a anti-climax because Heller's so powerful. At the end game it would take a fight with a coked-up Godzilla riding an aircraft carrier to provide an adequate challenge.

GameVortex 've never understood why so many multiplatform games come to PC long after the console versions drop. This release of Prototype 2 doesn't change my mind. It is neither inferior nor superior to the console version. It is the same beast: exciting, empowering, and gory as hell. Read Full Review
84/100

Invision Game Community Alright, don’t all shout at once. Prototype was a game that was excellent for free-roaming and mass civilian mutilation, but what really let it down was a hyper-sensible biohazard storyline told in a game that focused on murdering and eating thousands of people in as bloody a way possible.

Rise of the Triad: QuakeCon 2012 Preview

Rise of the Triad was the next illogical step in a steady stream of first-person shooters from the ’90s. Originally intended as an expansion pack for Wolfenstein 3D, the gratuitously bizarre anomaly spiralled into its very own game when the “Wolfenstein” part was cancelled. Eighteen years later, something between a remake and a reboot for Rise of the Triad was announced at QuakeCon 2012, which nobody saw coming because… well, why would they?

Curious to see what all this stuff and nonsense was about, I skipped one of QuakeCon’s panels to take a journey with creative lead and Interceptor CEO/President Frederik Schreiber as he showed me around the reimagined madness. Read More

DayZ Stands as a Shining Example of PC Gaming at Its Finest

Unsurprising as it may be to hear in light of its success, DayZ is now officially on the path to becoming a standalone game. The increasingly popular ARMA II mod recently surpassed 1 million players, a milestone which coincides with today's announcement that ARMA developer Bohemia Interactive, along with DayZ designer Dean Hall, will be creating a version of DayZ that functions independently of the games currently required to play it. It's quite the success story -- the mod has only been available for about four months -- and is a testament to what's possible on computers. Read More

Football games: Worth every penny or a total con?

There are those that like to argue whether you are a Fifa gamer or a Pro Evolution Soccer gamer. I’m going to take it one step further and say your either a football gamer or a non football gamer. The fact of the matter is a new game comes out every year with possibly the slightest difference from the previous game and they release it onto the shelves in quantities thinking that they’ve made something new and improved. I really think they should hold a prize for anyone who can spot the difference between FIFA 09 and FIFA10 because I’m really struggling. Read More
