JoshE.Oct 7, 2007One of the best online games ever created; with the community to the actual shooting in the gaming world. This game has it all!

BraydenW.Sep 9, 2007This game is unbelievable... It has stunning maps and AI and this is also a great game to host LAN parties, for all you serious gamers, i rate this a 10/10.

-
MendeleevB.Sep 9, 2007Really good game. I nice upgrade Counter Strike 1.6 offering improved graphics and gameplay, though still including the old classic maps such as de_dust2 and de_aztec. For the £10 it costs now, well worth picking up, for both CS 1.6 veterans and gamers that wish to start.

NickMarzaSep 1, 2007One of the best multiplayer game returns in a new way better version... The graphichs and the animation are the best for this type of game and the gameplay it's a bit easier than in cs 1.6...but it's a wrong thing because for some people the old Counter Strike was TOO much difficult...

SteveL.Aug 30, 2007I love this game.

KyleB.Aug 26, 2007Great game, Graphically better than the original.
-
-
LuukasV.Aug 24, 2007Graphics are very good, and even with slower PC you can play. But Like Yar said, its too easy. I mean if you started from CS1.6 and just then entered cs;s than you wont get so much exitement as in cs1.6. but you just started in cs:s than its good to learn.
-
-
YermakirumY.Aug 24, 2007Very good game.
-
-
YarrrPirateAug 23, 2007The graphics are good, but the gameplays isn't quite as good as CS1.6. For example, you get headshots too easily. It seems that this game was made as simple as possible, to make it a popular game, rather than one that required a little skill, like CS1.6.
-
-
ShaunS.Aug 18, 2007This is a sweet game, I suggest that you go and buy it if you enjoy action and shooting games.
-
-
Taz1uM^Aug 18, 2007Really great game. Nice gameplay and beautiful graphics.
-
-
AndrewMerrowAug 14, 2007better than 1.6 for for one reason. physics. running in to defuse and seeing your buddy go flying into the wall because of an awp shot to the dome makes the experience so real and blood pumping. this game is an adrenaline rush unmatched by any shooter to date.
-
-
havocF.Aug 14, 2007Extremely good game and very addicting....gets updated every month or so and gameplay is extremely smooth and wayy better than the previous games. This is officially one of the best games valve has created.
-
-
TaylorAug 14, 2007CS:S all together is a great, graphically stunning game. There are so many community inspired game modes it will take you a while just to play them all. The only downfall to this game is that it usually chugs if you don't have a great computer.
-
-
JG.Aug 11, 2007Great game, with very nice graphics, and tons of fun to play with your friends.
-
-
Novi4ekNoneAug 10, 2007good game

-
DominikE.Aug 10, 2007It's the best game, I've ever played!
-
-
DennisF.Aug 10, 2007This game is as addictive as nicotine. Once you log on to a network, and lan against a few mates, everyone is hooked. There is no alternative, CS Source is the best FPS ever created.
-
-
YiuC.H.Aug 9, 2007Although superb graphics and the gameplay from counter-strike is retained, the game movements in counters-strike source is not as smooth as counter-strike, where animations and movements are rather stiff, and the realism in graphics could be a drag for some slower PCs and for online play.

RobW.Aug 8, 2007Its really a great game, good graphics and great game play, the effects are awesome and the scenery is great, i love how you can actually shoot through the boxes and doors, but there are some hackers which brings the game play down.
-
-
JohnS.Aug 4, 2007The graphics are still stunning, and the realism is almost scarry. which is cool. The only thing worth complaining about is the lack of new good levels. Of course, what do you expect from a grass-roots game? levels come from players, not manufacturers.
-
-
LauriP.Aug 2, 2007Great game, leaves the 1.6 way behind. The physics engine is really one of the bes things about this game, as the bodies and the weapons drop like ragdolls should.The thing i don't like is Valve not releasing any new official maps and the ability to kind of shoot through corners of walls or boxes, copied from 1.6.
-
-
Novi4ekNoneAug 1, 2007good game
-
-
GonzaloA.Jul 31, 2007This is the best CS game since the original 1.6. Also one of the best FPS in PC today. The best upgrare for the CS series, because of the beautiful graphics and realistic game play.
-
-
TylerJ.Jul 31, 2007This game is a great. There are only a few hackers and the graphics are awesome.
-
-
PaulT.Jul 29, 2007The only online games that is enjoyable to play. And ALWAYS will be.
-
-
JamieW.Jul 29, 2007This is the best game in the counterstrike series so far.
-
-
MoeM.Jul 27, 2007Great game so dang adictive, love playing soccer map, gungames and dirent mods, gives the game an other angle when you get tired of saving hostages or planting bombs.
-
-
PhilipD.Jul 25, 2007Been playing it for years. There are servers for every one, from surf to gungame. This game will be one of the best purchases that you will make, simply because of its vast size. Every level oozes with atmosphere, and the vast community ensures that there is always something new. If only there were more games like this.
-
-
NathanS.Jul 24, 2007I Love This Game, It Got Awsome Graphics , Grate Gameplay, lots of differint game type from surf to gungame to zombie. i have played this game since 12/26/06 since today over 850+ hours.
-
-
MatthewB.Jul 18, 2007I have played this game since beta and have always gone back to it when I felt like a solid first person shooter multi-player. I gave it a 10 because I have not seen a game yet match it that runs as smooth and crash free like this one, not to mention the awesome action you can get into.
-
-
JamesO.Jul 15, 2007This game is amazing, its a constant challenge to a player to get better at the game, learn new spots and discover new friends or enemies.
-
-
MikeS.Jul 15, 2007Hey head shots may seem random but what the guy on the other team can do i can too, just takes practice and adjustment to a new style of playing. I still prefer 1.6 but only noobs complain about source, either waste your $20 or learn to play it like all the others. Fun game =)
-
-
BrandonM.Jul 10, 2007This is the best game i'v played on my computer it dont take much to play easy to learn and it really fun to play ppl on it are nice and some people make good maps.
-
-
JoeK.Jul 9, 2007GREAT GAME!
-
-
AidenC.Jul 9, 2007Great game, hundreds of hours of play due to balance that allows strong and aggressive competition. The strongest draw is the feeling of community of playing within a few servers and making friends. Great game!
-
-
RyleyM.Jul 7, 2007This is a great game. It really improves your hand-eye co-ordination. The graphics could be a little better, but other than that its great!
-
-
MichelgrandpaJul 7, 2007fucked up game wats this fucking recoil IT SUCKS OMG... you cant even shoot someone fucking crap shit
AND NOW YOU CANT PLAY THE GAME wtff... dude common yeh sorryr the game is unavalble at the moment please try later fuck you i got a day free and even cant play fucking CRAP GAME AND STEAM SUCKS!!!!!!!! -
-
souljuhJul 5, 2007omfg! this is the BEST GAME EVER! its a simple "shoot-em up" that uses life like physics and realistic environments. Not only are the diffrent modes exiting (zombie mod, Gun game -zm, gg) users are always making and adding new, more fun maps to play on! And dont forget about all the secret spots you can find to dominate all those n00bs out there!
-
-
NathanV.Jul 5, 2007Good game, decent graphics, but quite a few cheaters and physics flaws that dampen the games full potential, if some more bugs were fixed it be an easy 10.
-
-
RyanW.Jul 5, 2007Excellent game that unintentionally falls short because of the limited game modes. All in all, it takes CS to the greatest level ever seen.
-
-
RobertJ.Jul 5, 2007Its the best game ever! I have been a pro gamer and have been spending many hours playing Counter-Strike Source.
-
-
JoshBeallJul 4, 2007The only thing I don't like is not being as good as the other players and well waits after I've been kills 4 steps into the fight but with a lil single player practice you'll be slaughtering and laughing as you watch the rag dog physics slump the now mamed corpses of you or your enemies on the ground.

KRJul 1, 2007Simply the best first person shooter ever made. If you don't like it, it's only because you suck. This game is hours and hours of fun.
-
-
AndyE.Jul 1, 2007I was there when this game was first introduced, and I must say. Its been a pleasure to see how far its came. Can't wait to see what the future brings!

SeanK.>Jun 23, 2007Great game, alot of people play, could use better graphics. but its still a great game to play.
-
-
JoeG.Jun 22, 2007Worst online community. Tedious. Fails at being an action game. Fails at being realistic. It's a bast^rd caught somewhere in between. Watching 2 people camp on opposite sides of map for 2 minutes. Horrible community. 13 year old racist homophobes. This game is just garbage. Why do people play it?

SatanaxJun 14, 2007This game owns!! i never get bored of it and ive been playin it for 2 years or more... and i just play dust 2 so... ^^
It really worths the money it costs, which actually is very low (not when i bough it... 70 -
-
JustinB.Jun 13, 2007It seems as though you ruined the original CounterStrike. Not a fan of this game.
-
-
WillemG.Jun 12, 2007Very good game, but in the beginning you have to practice much.
-
-
GabrielO.Jun 10, 2007Counter Strike Source is an amazing game, I've been playing many first person shooters and none beat counter strike. It takes online shooting gameplay to a whole new level, fun, addictive, realistic, fantastic.
-
-
HunterH.Jun 10, 2007What can I say? The best game of all time. I gave up all my other gaming habits for Counter Strike Source, as I found the gameplay not only the most realistic but the most fun!
-
-
ChrisZ.lJun 10, 2007This is a very good game, it is not a online shooter with cheaters, they will be banned forever. It has a nice gameplay, but the bugs made me choice a 9.

DanielR.Jun 8, 2007The best PC game I have ever played. Its realistic and you can even skin your guns to make it look the way you want it too. Best game ever 10/10.

LukeD.Jun 5, 2007Counter Strike Source is one of the most versatile, balanced, and fun games I have come across in my years of gaming. It takes online gameplay to a whole new level of awesome.

-
TimW.Jun 5, 2007People who claim there are to many cheaters need to switch to a Secure Server (VAC) or Stop playing on non-Steam servers. (For people who didn't actually buy the game.) I am yet to come across someone I could honestly say I was certain they were cheating, I have been suspicious of people once or twice, In anycase it is up to server-admin's to follow up on hack/cheaters.
-
-
JustinS.Jun 4, 2007This game brings tactics and fun together! Making it one of the best online games today, plus once you start you can't stop, well, at least I can't!
-
-
PieEaterJun 3, 2007This game brings new aspects to the online gaming experience and is a must have.
-
-
OliverS.Jun 3, 2007This is a GREAT game. There are tons of maps and i love playing it. It was definitely worth the money and i would just like to say that there are actually never any 'cheaters' if u play on a proper server.
-
-
JamieG.Jun 2, 2007A true performance of a game. Surf maps and game mod maps and all sorts .. u just cant beat it when it comes to most addictive games. 10/10 of me outstanding game !! =)
-
-
BobM.Jun 1, 2007Hackers & Cheaters! too damn many of them. what is valve doing to solve this extensive problem? I hope they put as much effort into dealing with the hackers as they did with creating one of the BEST graphics engines to date.
-
-
PaulP.Jun 1, 2007Damn lagging game with so much bugs and a endless list of cheaters!!

CodyB.May 29, 2007Best game in the world, based on the best content made for the HL1 engine.
-
-
RobinB.May 27, 2007I love this game. It is an amazing first person shooter that NEVER gets old. I have loved playing it since the first day i got it! it was DEFENETLY worth the money!
-
-
JamesK.May 26, 2007Good graphics, solid platform and server browsing. Gameplay is solid enough, at its core its the same, but then engine lends itself to poor hit detection. The rampant hacking and immature nature of the community bring the experience down. Overall a good, quick online shooter that lacks in depth.
-
Awards & Rankings
-
The game looks more beautiful than ever, with structures that feel weighty and solid and little visual touches throughout. The flash-bangs look fantastic.
-
Valve has done a sterling job of moving a flagship franchise over to a new engine. Whilst the gameplay guts come over correct and intact, (which may disappoint some), Counter-Strike: Source is an even more engrossing and captivating experience, capable of sapping hours of your time, and even the worst "1337 g33zers" abusing voice chat can't spoil the fun you'll have with it.
-
Counter-Strike: Source is, once you've gained a knack for it, the most consistently rewarding and surprising team-based shoot-'em-up available on the PC today. It's been dressed up nicely for its relaunch in 2004, but it wasn't broken, and Valve hasn't fixed it.
