The True First Person Battle Simulator This is my favorite battle game. I started by playing Half-Life first, which in addition to "boots on the ground" battle against online opponents, also has an incredible story plot solo game included. But Counter-Strike is all about the battle between terrorists and counter terrorists, and bringing the battle right into your soul. What Condition Zero, the latest release from Sierra does so well, is it allows you to fight offline with robots, or 'bots', as they are called in this genre. You can set their skill level low so you can be the hero and hold your own, and not get slaughtered by the pros you would otherwise meet in the online network option. Playing with the bots is my favorite way to play. It also alleviates any trouble you might have with a slow internet connection. I want to have to struggle, but I enjoy coming out the hero in most of the bot matches. At the beginning of each round you get money to use to equip yourself with the necessary kevlar armor, as well as submachine guns and rifles, etc, based on real world counter-terrorist police gear. If your team wins, then the next round you have more money to buy better weapons and gear. By the way, each round lasts about 10 minutes, so if you get shot, you float like a ghost and observe until a few minutes later when a whole new round commences. The 3d graphics are great, the approximately 20 maps are varied such as Chateau, Train Station, Aztec, Desert, etc. The sounds are very realistic, right down to the sound of the brass casings bouncing on the floor as you fire your mp5 at your enemy. There is solo game story adventure included, which even includes a training mission. Counter-Strike is the #1 selling first person shooter in the world, bar none. Not to be missed!
