Minh is reintroducing some of the original concepts from the counter-strike series, like the riot shield, new twists and turns and enhanced gameplay at its best. Team work and communication, the key ingredients to develop any relationship, are put to the test in what fans are now calling Counter-Strike 2.

Tactical Intervention:

Reviewers Thoughts

Tactical Intervention is the new Counter-Strike!

The gameplay brings back fond memories. Strong team tactics and fast pasted action puts Tactical Intervention on my top ten games of all time! However, I do feel that some things need to be fixed. Some of the weapons are too nerfted, while some do too much damage. Also, the radar is WAY too over powered.

Issues like this are to be expected though, which is why we do Closed Beta Testing! I am sure they will be sorted out before the official release. I do however feel that the game could have done with a few more weeks of work, and that they may have released it into closed beta a little too early. So for now, I’m giving Tactical Intervention a rating of 4/5 based on the issues mentioned above and a few other niggling things like too few maps etc. I will do a full video review when it gets officially released though, with a new star rating.

Enjoy the game, and I hope to see you there!

My Story with Counter-Strike

Where to start? I’ve been playing counter-strike for most of my life. It all started when I was ten years old and a well thought out lie to my mother! An older friend of mine had introduced me to steam. One night, I spent some time over at said friend’s house. He popped in a CD and typed in a few keys… I watched in awe. Little did i know I was about to be introduced to my holy grail!

We sat, or rather he sat and I impatiently paced as would any kid with ADHD. Hours later, the game had finished installing… The introduction rolled, “This is way better than Mario!” I thought loudly to myself… okay… maybe I yelled it! The title menu showed up. ‘Join a Server’, and into a server we went!

Clones: The Latest Evolution in Puzzler Games!

Reviewers Thoughts

Lemmings was a childhood favorite, however I was never a fan of the singleplayer in the game. The competitive tournament style in Clones is a flash back to the past though, enabling me to relive some of the best moments in my video game history!

Reviewers Thoughts

Instant satisfaction! As soon as I stepped into the world of Noxious I was instantly satisfied with its performance. Dedicated artwork, solid animations and the perfect soundtrack bundled into a well polished game! I really hope the dedicated students who developed this game will focus their time on making a new version of Noxious with longer gameplay and possibly some co-op action…

Thank you Misfits for this awesome game! The length of gameplay is the only reason I didn’t give it a 5/5 rating.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

When I first played Tribes: Ascend, I totally underestimated the quality of the game’s performance. I’ve played shooters professionally for years, yet I couldn’t hit a damn thing in this game at first. First instincts told me Tribes: Ascend had poor registration. This was a grave mistake! Not only does Ascend have smooth and clean game play, but its registration is spot on. They use a very interesting mechanic for ballistics which was introduced long ago in earlier versions of tribes. I haven’t spent much time playing with this type of shooting mechanics.

However, I definitely feel good about Ascend and I think that HiRez Studios released a very unique and powerful game. With a variety of choices and customization options, Tribes: Ascend ranks on my top 10 shooters of all time.
