Counter-Strike
Appearance
Counter-Strike is a series of first-person-shooter games and gambling games disguised as first-person-shooters. It was initially created by Minh Le and Jess Cliffe[1] as a mod they made in college.
As they expanded the game, it was bought out by Valve Software who helped develop the game. In fact, Steam was mainly created because of how people had to manually get updates from the Valve website[2].
