This popular cosmetic fetches high prices. On the Steam market, it sold for $1517.38 on December 6th. Yet the weapon sells for much more on third party websites, where some users have paid over $13000 for the s

ps4-gamer-gaming-table.jpgGambling services such as Stake.com have risen dramatically in popularity and spending power in recent years, allowing players to gamble with the cryptocurrency of their choice. This popularity allowed crypto gambling services to offer extremely lucrative sponsorship deals for big-time streamers to gamble on their websites. For example, popular streamer Adin Ross was reportedly being paid upwards of $900,000 a week to play on Stake.com, meaning a glaring and massive vested interest was pres

There is at least one reason why Train has appeared in Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike: Source , and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive . It happens to be a delightful map that is relatively balanced for both teams. Sprinting into A site like the game is Call of Duty is just about the worst thing you can do. Plenty of players think Call of Duty and CS: GO are similar. Attackers are advised to stick together, communicate with team members, and choose a bomb site. Both bomb sites on Train can be reached easily, so you may as well have your squad with you when plant

As the name implies, this weapon skin features the iconic Greek gorgon . Players with this skin will find Medusa’s green face on one side of the AWP’s stock — with the back of her head present on the other side. The purple snakes that make up her hair are sent out in tendrils along the weapon’s b

The newest addition to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive' s lineup of maps is the level "Zoo." Also added to the list of maps playable in competitive mode is a map called "Workout." The level Zoo is located in San Fransisco Bay. While walking through the map of Zoo, you may hear a lot of animal noises such as monkeys and birds. Unfortunately, you won't see those animals since its only fish that can be found in Zoo. The concept of Zoo works well, but the map may need some adjustments before it can be considered a top CS: GO

This submachine gun is one of the cheapest guns the terrorist team can buy. However, its price tag comes with baggage, like having really bad recoil, weak armor penetration, and only being remotely handy in close quarters. The MAC-10's accuracy is abysmal by most accou

With his Twitch career falling to the wayside as a result, it is estimated that ItsSliker stole close to $200,000 from people within the Twitch community, sparking a huge flurry of debates surrounding the state of Twitch gambling and how it is ruining the platform. In the wake of these revelations, extremely influential streamers such as Pokimane took to Twitter to demand that Twitch ban gambling on the platform, with her tweet receiving over 300,000 li

Some competitive multiplayer games are tough for newcomers to get into. This can be because of the complexity of the game, or the toxic gatekeeping of the established community. While many development studios are trying to make their games as widely accessible as possible, there are still some that are an absolute grind for new players to le

Escape From Tarkov is punishing on all fronts. In most games, players need to lose to learn. Tarkov punishes players for losing though, as all equipment brought into the field is lost upon death. On the flipside, players can get massive rewards for beating another player by taking their loot h

Squad may be one of the most intimidating military combat sims on the market. Many of the maps are so massive that most players will never even see one another. On top of this, Squad has tons of control binds and little things to learn when just moving the character around. Stack all of this on top of a game where mics and communication are necessary for success, and newcomers have a pretty tough game on their ha

Many players are using the skins’ demand and their rare drop rate to make a profit, and many of the cosmetics end up costing a fortune. Here are some of the most expensive skins found on the Steam community marketpla

classic offensive Mod Counter-Strike players will enjoy Dust II since it is what the professional players often play. In respect to level difficulty, you'll notice that winning a Dust II match is exceedingly tricky. The map is quite large, and newbies don't know how to play the map. It seems like the difficulty raises when you play Dust II, which is probably because the most experienced Counter-Strike players like to play this map. Planting at A is way easier than B, but protecting the bomb at A site after being planted is challeng

For my third choice, Beyond Good and Evil (the sequel has been in 'pre-production' for two years). The main character, Jade, reminded me of a female Luke Skywalker (pre-Force) in her quest to investigate an alien

The combat is system the same as any RPG, but there was a precise combo system that not many games at the time had. Nail them right and you would unleash lethal damage. I think if there was a sequel, they would be able to break away from all of the generics and finally become its own. LoD had tons of potential- they just borrowed too much from other ga
