Retelling of my expressions

For long time I have always wanted to review a movie or video game.
Reason for doing it was not only wish to express my opinions to others,but also to improve my language skill.
I can say that’s was the main reason mostly.So to begin with I will tell you about my gaming history.
I was 12 years old when I made a serious step in my life and started playing video games.
If someone says that playing video games is a waste of time,there is only one thing I can say to him (or her) and that is GO TO HELL YOU C**T.
Just like most of us the first game that I played was Super Mario.The game that came in package with Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
You all remember those yellow cartidges that made our life full of excitement and fun.Then came the Sony PlayStation.And I had to have it.
In that time it was like the ultimate gaming device that you could buy.
Sure then games were released also for PCs,but I didn’t knew anyone in that time who would chose to play games on PC instead of playing them on PS.
Maybe that’s because I live in country where the gap between rich people and homeless ones is filled with 1 800 000 regular people who couldn’t afford to buy a good PC that time,
because the wage was enough to pay your bills and buy food.
So the time past,PlayStation became more thinner and thinner and even came up with “radically” new name – PSone.
After short time they released PS2.It was in that time when the prices of PCs dropped down and PCs was affordable to ones who knew what the Microsoft Word was and knew how to use it.
Computers weren’t originally created and designed to be a gaming console or in any way replace it.
Steering wheels, joysticks and joy pads were released to make gaming more fun and enjoyable also on PC.

I wanted to review Counter Strike as first game.
I should mention also that Counter Strike was the first game I played on PC.Yes,it was first!So there is a little history between us.Isn’t that cute?
There is a lot of Counter Strike versions that was released: Counter Strike 1.5, Counter Strike 1.6,Condition Zero,Counter Strike:Source.I will talk only about Counter Strike 1.6 and CS:Source,
because those two versions are simply the best,and other ones,like Condition Zero should be forgotten because there is no way to reverse its release.
If time traveling would be possible then I would travel back and beat some sense into Valve developer squad to not make Condition Zero,it’s disgrace for all that Counter Strike stands for.
Well,won’t talk about the impossible and continue my review. Also,note for readers,you shouldn’t consider this as a review,but mostly as retelling of my expressions.

I founded more fun to play CS 1.6 than CS:S. Sure lot of you will argue and try to prove your point,but that’s my opinion and keep your to yourself;playing CS 1.6 was more fun for me.
Sure CS:S has smoother and better visual graphics and it has more realistical gameplay in some way.Sure you can’t shoot throw the brick walls in CS:S,but that was the most fun thing in CS(Counter Strike).
CS 1.6 has simple map textures,where sky is blue,ground is grey and walls are a mix of 3 colors and thats all. You don’t need sky to have all those clouds,or trees to have
fronds like in CS:s. That all is unnecessary. You don’t have time for all that. You have limited time to plant explosives,save hosts or just kill everyone who isn’t in your team. You don’t have time to
walk around map and look all over for some pretty flowers.Go outside and go to park, want to see some really excellent architecture or art? Go to museum!
All you need in FPS is some walls that separate you from your enemy,thats it.
In CS 1.6 everything around you happens a lot quicker than in CS:S.That is what kept you focused.In CS:S the exciting part is only shooting,the running and jumping around and everything else is booring.
CS:S is slow and heavy.Footsteps, jumping, walking – all of it in CS:S is more realistical than in CS 1.6,but that is not good at all.
Why that is necesary in video game? There is no reason to make video games similar to a real life. Go play some Paintball with friends for God’s sake,join Army or go get drunk.
Jumping around in CS 1.6 was fun.Sure it was unrealistical,but … Wait,go back and read what I said before. Video games don’t need to be realistical,that’s the point of video games.
We play them to have fun,to experience and see something that we won’t see in real life.
