  • Team Fortress 2 takes #1 spot from Counter-Strike

    Team Fortress 2 takes #1 spot from Counter-Strike

    Last week Team Fortress 2 went free to play (F2P), with its biggest update since the game was released in 2007. Since then, TF2 has managed to topple Counter-Strike as the world's most played online first person shooter. Today's peak number of players for CS was 65,420, with TF2 far ahead reaching 97,917. Whether TF2 will now retain the position is another matter, but after what felt like a decade of CS remaining the most popular FPS in the world, it's a refreshing sight.

  • F1 2011's debut developer diary has arrived

    F1 2011's debut developer diary has arrived

    It sounds like the guys at Codemasters have made huge bounds with F1 2011 over its predecessor, and they talk of a greater emphasis on multiplayer. This means 16 cars online, split-screen for the lounge room and a co-op season. Hopefully it also means there'll be some client-server checks upon connection, so cheaters can't conveniently run rampant again. To see it for yourself, click play on the video embed.

    SW:TOR beta feedback from Penny Arcade's Gabe

    If you're someone who has followed Penny Arcade for any amount of time then you know that Mike Krahulik (aka Gabe) is an epic Star Wars nerd. He's been playing BioWare's upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO for the last month and has just shared his thoughts.

  • CS:GO gets a substantial content update
    by rec
    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was just updated again, making a number of changes and additions to the game. The default map has been switched from Inferno to Train, which appears to be a far better recreation than Inferno, apart from the fog issue. There are also a bunch of new weapons: the Para, the TEC-9 Pistol, the SG 552 (pictured), and the AUG....

  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta impressions
    by rec
    I've been shooting some face in the CS:GO beta for the first time this evening, and there's quite a bit to talk about. I should preface this impressions article with the note that while I used to play at a national level, it has been years since I've delved into any CS in any serious capacity. I'm sure there will be a number of current day elitists out there who disagree with my opinions, but I'm not claiming this as gospel, so append as much or as little weight to these opinions as you care to....
