CSGO, CS:GO
Release Date: August 21, 2012
The next installment in a cult online fist person shooter series, which originated in the early 2000's as a Half-Life modification. This game was created by Valve Corporation, who purchased the rights to the massively popular mod and later developed its commercial editions. The core gameplay is built upon competition between two teams of players: terrorists and counter-terrorists.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for PC, PS3 and X360 is another, after Half-Life modification. Despite the changes and all the time that has ed, the title remains great teamwork-based action game.
Two teams, terrorists and special forces, are pitted against each other trying to stop the other party from achieving their objective. We are awarded cash for each enemy we have killed, allowing us to buy better weapons and equipment at the beginning of each round.
The list of available armaments was expanded with several items, including Molotov cocktail, decoy grenade, IMI Negev, Tec-9, Mag-7, Sawed-Off, PP-Bizon as well as Taser. The last one is particularly interesting — although expensive — for it allows you to instantly one-shot an opponent.
There are four game modes available: Arms Race, Demolition, Classic: Casual, and Classic: Competitive. The first is a variation of the classic deathmatch — after killing an enemy, we receive a new gun. The second one works similarly, although the game is divided into rounds, just like in classic modes. The third, as the name suggests, is meant for beginners, and its task is to introduce them to Counter-Strike by disabling friendly fire, among other things. Classic: Competitive, in turn, is devoid of all conveniences.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for PC, PS3 and X360 offers seven maps: five "de_" (planting/disarming bombs) and two "cs_" (hostage rescue). Each one is based on its counterpart from the previous installments. The fans will surely recognize their names: Dust, Dust2, Aztec, Nuke, Inferno, Italy, and Office. Of course, some some improvements were made, though only to improve the gaming experience.
The matchmaking system was also overhauled, and now seeks opponents based on our skill level. Apart from Valve servers, the players may also host their own games.

Game Ratings for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Video Game.
GamesRadar+: 3 / 5 by Lorenzo Veloria
CS:GO, mechanically, holds up as one of the best shooters you can play, but offers few reasons to move over from the previous versions.
VideoGamer: 9 / 10 by Martin Gaston
The game's slick visual overhaul is enough to get your attention, but it's the detail and pace of the game's tried-and-tested maps and gunplay that will keep you coming back - make no mistake, these are shootouts that are attractive through excellence rather than nostalgia.
PC Gamer: 84 / 100 by Evan Lahti
It retains CS' spirit as a competitive game driven by careful tactics, cooperation, and individual heroics alike. It's still a game about positioning, timing, and, say, thinking critically about how much footstep noise you're generating. GO preserves CS' purity in that regard--it remains one of the only modern shooters without unlockable content, ironsights, unlockables, or an emphasis on things like secondary firing modes.
