No matter where you buy it from, the collection of remastered titles will run you just $19.99 (USD).

That's quite the bargain once you understand that you get two full original Command & Conquer titles plus...

Valve just rolled out one of the biggest updates for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It may not be the largest in terms of file size, but in terms of scope? Yeah, it's pretty big for a game like Counter-Strike. "What could it possibly be," you wonder?

It's battle royale.

Of course it's battle royale. This mode has been rumored for a while and now it's finally here. The new mode is called "Danger Zone" and along with this new mode comes some additional surprising...

Some of these changes are already being tested as part of a beta update for CS:GO but they say that the changes, barring any issues, will go live soon.

In 2016, PhantomL0rd was found to be involved in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive bet rigging and being an undisclosed partial owner of CSGOShuffle, a skin betting website.

Sorry, I meant to say that he was allegedly a total douche canoe that scammed numerous people out of money by lying to them. To make a long story short, PhantomL0rd was banned from Twitch after news broke about his "allegedly" douchey actions.

Fast-forward now to 2018 and PhantomL0rd is now suing...
