If you're into multiplayer first-person shooters and you fancy yourself as a bit of a pro, you should definitely pick up this game. Not only is it the best gun focussed game I've ever played, it also gives you a kick up the arse and teaches you to play better at shooters. With a steep learning curve and a community full of sharpshooters you'll be kept on your toes as you run around clicking on people's heads.

If you're new to the Counter-Strike series, you might want to start by playing with bots, so you can learn the maps and the aiming systems of about 40 different weapons. The biggest guns suffer massive recoil, so you'll have to keep control over your fire and all the guns in the game can deal more damage from a headshot. The main gameplay is based around winning short rounds as the two teams: Terrorist and Counter-Terrorist. As the terrorists it is your job to detonate a bomb at one of the predetermined locations and it is the counter-terrorists' job to defuse the bomb or prevent it from being planted. Other game modes include team deathmatch (who can get the most kills?), arms race (a race through all the guns in the game) and hostage mission (terrorists have to guard their prisoners from the enemies).

The game is currently the second most played game on Steam (to bloody Dota) and is definitely worth a go. Mind the chickens.
