Overview
Description

Afro Samurai is a 3D brawler that blends fast‑paced hack‑and‑slash action with platforming elements, set in a stylized cel‑shaded world inspired by the manga and anime. Players wield light and power attacks, kicks, and blocks to battle enemies and epic bosses while the story unfolds through in‑engine cutscenes. The game follows Afro, the current Number Two, on his quest for vengeance against Justice, the killer of his father, amidst a deadly struggle for the Number One headband. Featuring strategic combat mechanics and a narrative steeped in revenge and honor, it delivers a gritty, cinematic experience on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.

So much fun

Counter-Strike 2 has been my go-to lately. Pure skill-based gunplay. One gripe: steep learning curve. Would recommend.
