Which valve games should i buy?

CS:S isn't worth it.

I think the HL2/CSS/DOD:S package is definitely worth $20. The best online FPS experience currently IMO.

I just installed this mod, and the nostalgia started flowing lol! It's still in beta, but good fun for Goldeneye fans. Thanks for the link!

Buy the games (CS:S at least) and get your own opinion!

its weird. i can do fairly well in most FPS games but not in CS:S for some reason.

All it takes is practice. Game is different from say, DoD and Unreal Tournament. Just because game is different and you don't want to invest time/effort to practice, does not make CS:S a bad game. I have been playing for about 2 years (1.6, then Source), ran my own 1.6 "fun yard" server with crazy mods (was full 24/7), and then spent about 3 weeks adjusting to source, now I play maybe 8 hours a week, and stay near top of the list ranked by kills; My kill to death ratio is nearly always positive, around 1.5 kills for 1 death.

You don't have to play "real" maps - ever since GUN GAME was released on Source, I don't play normal maps anymore. Gungame is simply so awesome - turn off the brain and practice reaction/aim skillz. Rounds in gungame are very short, because maps are small and everyone rushes; gungame deathmatch is actually fun - you get new guns and not just more kills. There are several types of gungame, reverse and normal, turbo and regular.
My friend is a huge fan of zombie mod, but I don't play it.

That said, try gg_ maps - no skill required, but if you have skill, it's even better (noobs cry HACKER!).

Can't wait to get my own CS:S gungame server, but I heistate because there are plenty of awesome servers as is.

CS:S is amazing but once UT2K7 comes out as well as crysis i think cs will die even more....but yeah hidden source is an amazing game...also garrys mod is quite fun.......

CS:S has surf maps which are alot of fun aswell

CS 1.6 outlived several releases of Unreal Tournament, and I'm sure Source will not die with the release if UT2k7
CS has been around for a while, and it's not going anywhere.

Well, you can get the Counter-Strike: Source retail package (Includes Day of Defeat: Source and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch) for $14.99 @ Circuit City starting on July 15 through July 21.

Don't forget to pick up that $499.99 PS3!

Counter-Strike is just so insanely popular, I expect it'll be around for 10 more years... seriously.

CS:S requires a ton of patience on most servers.

Yeah, I forgot to say, the brand new UT2K7 will not run on my 3 year old system with 1 year old video card, while CS:S runs smoothly/medium settings at 1680x1050. Millions of gamers aren't buying new systems every year.

My system:
AMD 3200+ (skt A, 32bit)
2x512mb ddr400 (DDR1) RAM = corsair value
6800GT AGP
