Overview
Description

Metal Slug Advance brings the iconic arcade shooter to handheld devices with crisp 2D graphics and fast‑paced combat. Players control the elite squad as they blast through enemy lines, rescue hostages, and unleash a barrage of weapons in a comedic wartime setting. The game retains the series' signature humor and over‑the‑top explosions while adding new power‑ups and level designs tailored for portable play, delivering a nostalgic yet fresh experience for both veterans and newcomers.

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.
