WHAT'S THE STORY? The war on terror is taking place online, thanks to Xbox Live. Playing as either terrorists or counter-terrorists, you can shoot real people in the face.

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING? Online team-based multiplayer tactical combat.

PLAYS LIKE? The classic PC version, but without 13-year-old cheats.

WORTH STAYING IN FOR? The single-player mode is no great shakes, but it's another compelling reason to get involved with Xbox Live.
