There's only one game in today's Countdown to 2013 Daily Deal, but as it's Boxing Day, it's a pretty damn good one.

For today only, you can get 50% off Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which is usually on XBLA at 1200 Microsoft Points. Today, you can grab it for 600 Microsoft Points. Look, we did the maths for you there.

Happy Boxing Day! Now go and counter some terrorism, soldier!

I would seriously recommed getting the Steam version over this as CS feels completely off with a controller and it makes it very floaty to control compared to playing on a PC

To above i think all the great Mp games like Counterstrike or my personal favorite then Day Of Defeat where realy fun and awesome on PC and then i mean before Steam came and those games where still made by gamers for gamers and also in beta stages. The Xbox360 as much i enjoy it just not seem to suit for these kinda games or its just the nostalgic feeling to play these with a mouse and keyboard. Anyways i did gave Counterstrike Go a go and it wasn,t bad but somehow its not the Counterstrike i used to love so much anymore and it feels more like a generic FPS MP game now. But for those intrested its still a nice deal, not sure how much gamers actualy still playing this atm,as with most of these kinda games on xbox it seems ppl boost them quikly and then never play them again.

I tried the trial version and didn't think much of it tbh. I'm guessing a lot of the appeal it has to PC gamers was lost in the translation over to the 360

Really good game, best arcade multiplayer. Great deal. Worth full price so for half it's a steal. For people whining about the achievements, they are just a grind... so don't bother getting them if you don't like grinding. Simple.

@4 - The degree to which you are attempting to troll is astounding. Hell, even your username: trousersocialgathering

Could that be a reference to the ThePantsParty? Hmmm, I don't know. It's almost too clever to decipher.

Imo thats a bit ridiculous to decide not to play a game because it will take you a while to get the achievements. Does anyone remember when achievements didn't exist and you just played the game for fun? Maybe I'm just getting old..

I love this game and still play it occasionally. Hopefully this deal spikes the player base, I recommend the trial. This is blatantly not going below 600MSP so if you want it, I'd say get it now if you like it.

@3 - Good work at making yourself look like a complete bellend. I love gamers who literally hate life because they can't get achievements from games, lol.

@3, -pats you're head- Gotta love people who judge something only on achievements, how lost are you when you buy a game without them? Ever heard of playing for fun? XD

I gave this a whirl in the trial, but wasn't a big fan of it tbh, I might like the pc version better, maybe if I gave it more of a go, I'd enjoy it more, but I think I'll pass on this one.

@15 Your not getting old just the gamers getting younger lol :p Na but honest i get you, but sinds this is an achievements site alot of gamers and users are focused on just that: achievements and how easy or fast getting them. I to played long before those even existed and sometimes games gaveyou ingame rewards for finishing it. Sometimes i think achievements kinda ruined gaming or not..you can fill in yours.

@17 I paid full price on release, game is shit nuff said. Playing for fun? I do that hence why ive played MC the last week. I dont buy games without achievements because the indie market on the 360 is piss poor + i got everything i want from them.

@16 Fun that you are enjoying the game i dont even need to come up with a comeback after seeing that, life is what it is, a game that i havent touched for months have no impact on it.

Everyone that picks this up hope you enjoy it :)

Games that i really want to play i buy without looking at the achievement list. but if there are games that i have my doubts about or in some cases games that i would have never bought i look at the achievement list. and if it looks ok im giving it a try.

imo i have played alot more games then i would have if achievements didnt exist. In my eyes it extends the amount of fun.

If this game had easy achievements i would pass either way cause its not my kind of game :3

I like Counter-Strike but, as people here addressed, it CS is essentially a computer game. Therefore there's no reason to buy an inferior version here when I could easily play the full experience on my computer (How else do you think I wrote this?)

This game was awesome back when it came out. Even all the updates in this version were not enough to bring it back to its glory. I played trial for 30mins and can honestly say while I loved it ages ago, that's where it should have stayed. Even if it was free, I would not put anymore time in it.

I just play this game offline with bots. I've played one game online with this: put me in a match late, and I kicked ass and went 12-0, so for some reason, my own team voted to kick me. That was it for me.

@18 : That's not because it's an achievement website that it means every person here are achievement whores.

I think, and hope, most people don't just check the achievements to buy and play games, but rather just try to get the achievements once they finished the game to extend their play time.

Game does seem like it has potential to get repetitive, but I bought it anyway. Found it odd that I was ranked first in the room on my first match, so for that reason alone is why I got it. Maybe just maybe I've found an online shooter I'm decent at. Haha, but really looking forward to tomorrow.

Another deal day with only one game and a disappointing one at that, it could be free and I still wouldn't download this shit lmao. I still prefer 1.6 and Source over this laughable game.

@15 Yup it's called Playstation, where the Achievements/Trophy's don't matter ;) lol

P.S. I like achievements because it gives me more to do when I finished the game and instead of putting it away I will mop up and do a 2nd or even start a third play through just because of achievements but that's just me.

People bitching about an awesome deal for an awesome game, yet again.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is my multiplayer shooter of the year, personally, but if people are too blind/idiotic to even give it a chance before comparing it to past games in the series, then that's their loss, and I'm sure people probably wouldn't want to play with them anyway. Go back to Madden.

Oh, and if you're seriously moaning about the Achievements, and how "shit" they are, get a flippin' grip - it's a multiplayer game; they can hardly do a whole lot creatively with Achievements when all you're doing is killing people on the other team with nothing to link it all together beyond picking which side you're going to play for.

Urgh... IDIOTS...

w/ #40: Not to mention, it's for people who actually play the game that long. The lists for games like these are usually designed for longevity, to continually reward people who play the game over a long period of time. Kind of like the game I'm playing currently, Hybrid.

Counter Strike is one of those games that were meant to be on PC. I'm not even a PC gamer and I thought this version was bad compared to the PC one that I play at my friends house from time to time.

@ #34 :

Good catch !! I saw nothing on Walking Dead eps 1 for free, but its a way better deal. Free 100 GS !

@ #40 :

Achievements that take longer than 40 hours of pure grinding are @ss, period. Its not in the 'spirit' of the game, its just stupid. Gamers need to stand up and just not buy games with stupid long grindy or boosty achievements. If you are not having fun anymore, than its flawed achievement design, strait up. Every game should be completeable, WITHOUT hundreds of hours of boosting !!!!!11!! :(

@43 wtf are you talking about ? You think game developers only deserve your ,money if the achievements are easy ? Stfu. Also you don't have to get every achievement for the game to be completable.... Some people play the game for what it is ...a game.
A game like this is fun and your the one making it not fun by grinding for the achievement's your fault not the developers.
