CS sux, you should only play that if you want to become an uber nerd.

The best FPS out atm are things like UT 2004 or HL 2, FarCry, Doom 3.

Halo/Halo 2 if you've got an Xbox (not sure on ps2 as they are gay).

Also depends on your system specs/consoles.

To play CS 1.6 you will need a HL1 unused CD Key or Steam account. To play Counter-Strike: Source you will need an unused HL2 CD Key.

For more information, please visit http://steampowered.com/

Once you've used your HL2 CD-key no-one else can use it as it's tied to your Steam account unlike other games that just need the CD-key to verify that you have the correct disc. As such shops have different policies for games like HL2 and they will tell you before you hand over the money that you won't be able to return the game no matter what.

a friend of mine walked into asda - recorded a game serial key, made a steam account using it, and downloaded CS: S from steam. However after a week steam rejected the ID. (probably because someone else complained theres didnt work). So i suggest if you use this method - you remove the serial key sticker from the box.

And ta-dah as much free HL2 and CS: S as you can handle :)
