Concept: The concept of Counter-Strike (CS) is simple. And that is KILL or be KILLED. Some modes you have to defuse and set bombs, rescure hostages or prevent the rescue, or even simpliar a huge war of death till the end. Another concept is to have a lot of kills. This is one of the main points of the game. 19/20

Graphics: Since CS is fairly old the graphics are no X-box or PS2 graphics, but i assure you the graphics are not that bad for being a tad bit older. Everything in the game is clear. The only thing is the blood is a little bit tacky. 16/20

Sound: Again, for the games age the sound is extrodinary. I think its one of the best qualties about the game. When you run you can hear your footsteps as well as your enemies and team mates. The sound of the each gun is different too. Each gun has its on distinctive sound. When you shoot and kill your enemy they also make noises as they suffer and fall to the ground. 19/20

Gameplay: CS is one of those 1st person shooting games. Like your red faction, bond games, doom, etc, etc. The game play of this game is outstanding. It's a fast moving game at times but once you get the controls down and get into the swing of things you will be hooked. I play this games hours at a time. After everyone on your enemies team is defeated a new round is automatically started and you go at the hellish battle to the death once more. Every gun and gernade in this game is real in life. Some of the guns I've never heard of but i did some research and looked them up and they exist, so don't say this game isn't realistic. And it doesn't take much for you to die in this game, therefore you have to watch your ASS. There is armor but like in reality that won't last long or block a bullet from your face. This game is amazing. 20/20

Fun: As long as you change your maps and your levels every now and then this game will never get boring. There are several levels you can choose from and as long as you keep changing around and trying new ones the game will never get old. This game for the PC is just down right fun, exciting and a rush when you get good. At first you'll suck, but after those first couple of days you'll get the hang of it and be picking people off like nothing and you will be totally hooked. I recommend this game to EVERYONE. It's for PC and its call Half Life: Counter Strike. What are you waiting for get your ass out there and play it!!!! 20/20

FINAL SCORE: 94/100
