While I love other games that have true attention to detail, they really can't put me into full relaxation mode. Some of the more complex titles tend to have what I like to call "chore mode," where you have to do extra minuscule tasks in order to continue with the core game, i.e. collecting items in Assassin's Creed , or having to please your friends in GTA IV . Sometimes it's just nice to let the brain drift and kick-

The UMP is the gun to buy when you can't afford a full rifle, but you need to fight against them. While other SMGs like the MP9 fall off at longer ranges, the UMP gives the user a fighting chance while still possessing SMG killing power in close range. The UMP is also very user-friendly. It has a manageable recoil pattern that is not punishing to mess up. The UMP has been featured in many of the best FPS games of all time and it has been a great weapon in nearly all of them. CS:GO __ is no differ

Many players tend to push towards the enemies without any proper plan, especially at the beginning of the round. Pushing can be a good surprise tactic that is most suitable when you have nothing to l

The CTs' weapon of choice, the M4A4 can do it all. It can hold its own in long-range firefights, wipe a rushing team in a single mag, and spam through smokes for what seems like an eternity, all while being fairly easy to use. If it had slightly higher damage, allowing it to one-shot armored opponents to the head, it would be the best weapon in the game. The M4A4 is one of the best weapons at dropping multiple enemies in a single spray thanks to its good mag size, damage, and recoil managem

Counter Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most popular shooters of all time. The tactical FPS still has a massive audience — close to a million players at any given time — despite releasing in 2

The title is pretty self-explanatory, as you play an average-joe-turned-freedom-fighter as the Soviet Union vies to 'liberate' America. You lead a rag-tag group of citizens through a quest to halt the invasion no matter what the odds - the storyline was great, the level design well-done, and the soundtrack phenomenal and very memora

For my third choice, Beyond Good and Evil (the sequel has been in 'pre-production' for two years). The main character, Jade, reminded me of a female Luke Skywalker (pre-Force) in her quest to investigate an alien

On September 30th, this cosmetic was sold for a whopping $1226.74. But this price is an outlier on Steam, as the weapon skin typically sells for $350. Yet the high price isn’t that uncommon when looking at third party sell

Vagrant Story is my second choice. For starters, it is a Square game, and all of them get sequels. The hero, Ashley Riot, finds himself in a mystery of murder all while having his memories altered. The internal struggle of Ashley trying to figure out his real goal was quite emotio

When you know that your opponents are not going to buy anything or you're playing on a close-range map , the MP9 is the gun to choose. It is affordable, allows for high mobility, and shreds players foolish enough to engage in close-quarters combat with it. The best gun for making money after winning the pistol round, the MP9 (or Mac-10 if you're on the Ts) has secured many players an ace and a wad of cash to spend for their t

Scorched skins make the weapon look like it has seen heavy action, which is why, currently, the conditions below Field-Tested are more expensive. However, if you want to get one of the most iconic weapons in gaming, this is a good place to st

My choice would have to be Final Fantasy 7 - PART 2! It may sound strange, but something along the lines of a Final Fantasy 7 video game sequel would be awesome. Final Fantasy 7 had a great story, great leading hero in Cloud, and a fascinating supporting cast in Red XIII, Aeris, Baret, Vincent (who even received his own spin off), Cid, and Cait Sith. To cap it all off an all time classic bad ass villain in the form of Sephr

However, despite having the necessary resources to communicate, players often shy away or just do a very poor job of communicating. Using communication effectively will certainly improve your chances of winning the game, and it makes the playing experience much smoother in gene

The Desert Eagle, or Deagle as it is more commonly known as is the great equalizer. As a pistol, it is incredibly cheap. As a weapon, it is incredibly powerful. Very few weapons in Counter-Strike 2 tips __ are capable of a one-shot kill. The Deagle is one of them. It is a workhorse if used well, capable of winning rounds by itself. However, miss your shot and you have no way to defend yourself. The Deagle rewards skilled players by allowing them the opportunity to win rounds they have no right winn

In my opinion, Squaresoft's seminal Super Nintendo action RPG Secret of Evermore is desperately in need of a sequel. Filled to the brim with a fun and clever story, beautifully diverse level design and the unique alchemy-based magic system, Secret of Evermore is one franchise that Square should definitely attempt to revi
