			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Counter-Strike</strong></em> (commonly abbreviated to <em><strong>CS</strong></em>) is a tactical first-person shooter video game which originated from a <em>Half-Life</em> modification by Minh &#8220;Gooseman&#8221; Le and Jess &#8220;Cliffe&#8221; Cliffe.  The game has been expanded into a series since its original release, which currently includes <em>Counter-Strike: Condition Zero</em>, <em>Counter-Strike: Source</em>, <em>Counter-Strike: Anthology</em> and <em>Counter-Strike</em> on Xbox.</p>
<p><em>Counter-Strike</em> pits a team of counter-terrorists against a team of terrorists in a series of rounds.  Each round is won by either completing the mission objective or eliminating the opposing force.  The latest incarnation of the game, <em>Counter-Strike: Source</em>, is based on the Source engine developed for <em>Half-Life 2</em>.</p>
<p>The game has both individual and multiplayer options.   Bots can be added into the game.  The online-multiplayer option is activated via Steam.</p>
<p>&#8220;Counter-Strike&#8221; was developed first as a Half-Life modification.   Therefore named &#8220;Half-Life: Counter-Strike.&#8221;  The original version was a 3rd-party <em>Half-Life</em> modification, but since then it has grown into a commercial mod and later advertised as separate game in itself.   It is sometimes mistaken that Counter-Strike has no relation to Half-Life now that it is in a more commercial form and no longer referred to as &#8220;Half-Life: Counter-Strike&#8221; but &#8220;Counter-Strike.&#8221;  &#8220;Counter-Strike&#8221; is still using and running off of the Half-Life game engine and is based off of its unchanged structure.   The kernel of the engine maintains the same throughout all of the current commercial Half-Life modifications.  (Day of Defeat, Team Fortress Classic (not to be confused with original teamfortress running on Quake1, which half-life itself is based on), et cetera)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Team Fortress 2</strong></em> is a multiplayer team-based first-person shooter, developed by Valve Corporation as part of the game compilation The Orange Box.  The game was announced in 1998 as a sequel to the original <em>Team Fortress</em> mod for <em>Quake</em>, but has since been through various concepts and designs.  In 1999, the game appeared to be deviating from the original <em>Team Fortress</em> (and Valve&#8217;s own <em>Team Fortress Classic</em>, a mod for <em>Half-Life</em>) by heading toward a more realistic and militaristic style of gameplay, but the design metamorphosed further over the game&#8217;s nine-year development.  The final rendition of <em>Team Fortress 2</em> bears more resemblance to the original <em>Team Fortress</em> and <em>Team Fortress Classic</em> games, and sports a cartoon-like visual style, based on the art of J. C. Leyendecker<sup> </sup>following a popular trend in recent CGI films (in particular, films recently made by Pixar/Disney, such as The Incredibles).</p>
<p>The lack of information or apparent progress for six years of the game&#8217;s development caused it to be labeled as vaporware, and it was regularly featured in <em>Wired News&#8217;</em> annual vaporware list among other ignominies.<sup>  </sup>The game was officially released on October 10, 2007.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  As some of you may know we had our grand opening on December 1st and it was a blast!!!  We had our computers open and free for the weekend for people to try out.  We had cake and give aways (Games, Free computer time and, Video cards).  A lot of people were blown away by Call of Duty 4 and how fast our computers were.  We also had some people rock out on the new XBOX 360 game Rock Band.</p>
<p>We at Tron Gaming Arena want to thank all of you for making us such a great 3rd home for you.  We will continue to be a leader and provide the very best computer gaming experience.</p>
