CounterStrike GO

Is now available in the XBox LIVE Arcade for 1200 MS points. I'm downloading now, pretty excited for it.
I do not always accidentally, but when I do, I accidentally the whole thing.

I played the closed beta since it started, and it was pretty bad. I will say the PC version is tanking pretty hard. Not doing near as well as its predecessors.

From what I can see it doesn't offer much over CS Source.

Buying it on Xbox or PS3 is a really bad idea, just saying. Buying it on PC is a better idea in all cases with all games, but I can't really vouch for CSGO on any platform... It's an appeal to people who like CSS, I guess. A few new guns, a few new maps, some minor new features and a graphical overhaul.

I own all three Counter Strike games, and I can tell you that CS:GO is barely different from CS:S which is barely different from CS. It isn't a complete failure, though: the graphics are impressive even on my laptop with 256mb of Video RAM, and they've added a few new game modes and some new equipment. There are new terrorist groups and new counter terrorists (FBI SWAT). Even though it isn't really a new game, it's only 15 bucks, so I'm not complaining, and I'd say it's still worth buying.

One last thing worth mentioning:

They've added AI so that when the servers aren't full, there are still full teams (they may have AI in CS:S, I'm not sure), and the AI aren't half bad. They obviously aren't as good as a professional human player, but they can get some kills. All of the people who are new to CS can play offline against the bots until they get the hang of the game.

Screenshot at Minimum Graphics Settings

That screenshot really doesn't do the game justice--Steam doesn't take very high resolution screenshots.

I can remember filler bots way back in the original Counterstrike.
