Counter Strike: Global Offensive is a game that I purchased on a whim one day. I've heard much praise for the Counter Strike series as a whole, so I figured that this would be a good way to try it out. I was very impressed with what I came across. This game is nearly perfect in all aspects.

The gameplay is smooth and crisp, as well as unforgiving when matched against a greater foe. There is a wide variety of weapons to choose from, but not too many as to dilute the experience. Every gun is different, and every gun has it's strength and weaknesses.

The graphics are quite good. It's nothing to gawk at like Battlefield 4, but that's a good thing in this case. It doesn't detract or distract from the experience.

The servers generally run very well, in my 50+ hours of playing I've yet to discover a major issue in matchmaking.

I love the incentive it gives to keep playing, by the means of unlocking skins. You can sell them for Steam Dollars, or you can use them to spice up your guns.

Buy this game full price, 15 dollars is nothing for a game of this caliber. This game is worth 40 dollars easy, and it's an untapped cash cow for Valve.
