Search Results for ‘Counter-Strike’
Time for the Monday Look Back, where we bring you all the news we missed last week and links to everything we didn’t — just in case you did.
This past week LEGO Lord of the Rings hit digital shelves and brought along with it a new trailer. We learn that Derrick the Deathfin may have cost more to create then it will ever make from sales. Sony also release top PSN sales for October with The Walking Dead snatching up three spots on the list, proving that point and click adventures aren’t dead yet.
Last month [September], zombies, sports and flying fists seem to be what the fans wanted.
September was a little bit of a slow month, but still saw some awesome PSN releases. Topping the chart from those releases is The Walking Dead — Episode 3: Long Road Home, with Counter Strike and 3 on 3 NHL nipping at its heels. LittleBigPlanet topped the charts for Vita sales, and we see even more hockey on the top with NHL 13 taking top PS3 add-ons for the month. Topping the classics chart chart is Rockstars hooker filled, GTA III for PS2 and the cult favorite Final Fantasy VII for the PSone.
We here at PSN Fans love news: release dates, gameplay trailers, hardware details… You name it. However we can’t always report on everything that trickles out of the news machine, which is where Weekly News Catch-Up comes in. Here we cover some of the stories that didn’t make it to the front page the first time around.
Games on tap this week: Dust 514, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Red Johnson Chronicles: All Against One, Blood Knights, Mugen Souls, Tokyo Jungle, SunFlowers, Spelunker HD
Popping up this week on the PlayStation Store we have the long awaited Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, bringing us the classic team-based gameplay we know and love with new weapons, characters and levels. We also have the HD remakes of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, sadly though, you will have to buy the games separately for the PS3 and the PS Vita. Another interesting release this week is Retro/Grade, a ‘shmup’ that you travel backwards in order to save the space time continuum. As always you can check out all the newest releases just after the jump!
E3 is over, but to Angelo Valdivia, Chris Hague and Josiah Renaudin, that just means it’s time to discuss all the games and announcements from a crazy week. New releases and news of the world are discussed, but similar to last week’s show, the focus is on the gaming Christmas that is the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
What games impressed the staff at PSNFans? What was missing that everyone was looking forward to, and did Sony do what it needed to do at this 2012 show? All of these questions are answered, along with some serious fan feedback.

The PC darlings over at Valve finally let us know when we can expect Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The latest version of the classic FPS is set for release this August 21st for $15.00. The game, developed in association with Hidden Path Entertainment, is looking to bring the surprisingly still popular PC game to the PS3 for the first time.

The closed beta for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is well underway for the thousands of lucky players invited, but according to a recent statement from developer Valve, the rest of the world will have to wait a bit longer than expected to jump in. Global Offensive will now hit major downloadable platforms this summer.
A brand new iteration of the immortal and endlessly popular FPS Counter-Strike will arrive early next year on both PC and consoles, Valve announced yesterday.
