I mean, seriously, Square, stop jerking us around with all of this lame Final Fantasy X-2 and Final Fantasy VII spin-off crap and get crackin' on something that used to make you stand out from the crowd of spiky-haired, amnesiac protagoni

I would love to see a refresh or a next installment of Counter-Strike . I played a metric ton of the game in it's heyday, and the fact that it still thrives online via Steam should be a tell-tale hint that a sequel would be nothing short of a rock-solid i
