Tyloo, being based in Asia, played in a scrim-like style that was customary for their region, moving at a much faster pace than most top teams were used to seeing and catching them off guard. Soon after, you saw legendary teams like Liquid adopting some elements of Tyloo's playstyle into their own, helping them to eventually earn the top spot as the best t

Another element of CS:GO that many people tend to overlook is the fact that it would cause many teams to become predictable. Currently, teams must adapt to one another and constantly change the way in which they play depending on the opponent they are facing. When a new team like Crazy comes into the fold, many teams don't have enough information about them to effectively counter-strat them, leading to upsets and changes in the game's overall meta. Each team, depending on their home region, has a specific way of playing the game, which helps to keep it fresh and excit

Dragons benefit from their intelligence and courage. These are two vital characteristics in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Knowing which weapons to use on maps in different circumstances is essential. You must also possess tenacity if you wish to win matches. In this sense, those with the dragon Chinese zodiac fit in this game. You are willing to take risks to achieve objectives. Your game is Counter-Strike: Global Offens

Of course, since I compared it to Max Payne, you should know that it has bullet time and Valve Trade Restrictions more bullet time-esque features. It has everything a mindless, fun game would need: bad-ass main character (voiced/modeled after Chow Yun Fat)? Check! Gratifying violence? Check! Over the top action sequences? Check! Solid controls? Ch

December is relax time for me. It's the first month in a while where I play games for fun instead of for review purposes. I plan to journey on in my restart of Skyrim on PC and make time to catch up on a large pile of games, including Saints Row: The Third, Battlefield 3 (PC) and Forza Motorsport 4 while making sure I begin Arkham City, Assassin's Creed Revelations and Uncharte

Part of what makes CS:GO so great is the fact that smaller teams have a chance to show what they can do on the biggest stages. In most sports, the teams with the most money tend to dominate every year, with smaller teams having a fluke here and there.

For smaller teams, even making it past the qualifying stages for a big event changes their future and it already happened at the Berlin Ma

The only thing I'm probably going to be playing during December is Skyrim ... that ought to hold anyone over for at least a year. 2012: Max Payne 3 , Mass Effect 3, and BioShock: Infinite ... all third entries in their respective series... this franchise thing is getting out of hand sometimes. Luckily, they're all going to be good ga
