Counter-Strike 1.6, the game that redefined the multiplayer FPS genre, has been ported to Android in all its glory.

Players will find all the features they would expect to see if they loaded the game up on a PC, including online multiplayer with the ability to search and connect to servers.

Forget the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One — wouldn’t you rather play your PC games in your living room? Razer’s new Android-powered Forge TV allows you to do just that, thanks to a new technology called Cortex: Stream, which beams games from your PC to your television.

After a brief beta, Steam has made the ability to remotely manage your library of games as well as initiate a download via the web or mobile app a reality for all. Steam users who download the latest client for their PC or Mac will be able to log into the Steam web site or mobile app to access and manage their downloading pre-loads, new releases, or latest purchases.

Late last week, Valve released an official app for iOS and Android devices that allows gamers to stay connected to its Steam community wherever they may be. It was instantly popular with the Steam users who were able to gain access to it, but the only problem was, it was in beta testing and not many had that privilege.

But today the service is out of beta and available to all.

It’s been less than a week since Valve released the official Steam application for Android and already it’s surrounded by controversy. It appears a number of third-party Steam applications have suddenly disappeared from the Android Market and we’re guessing it’s not a coincidence. The part that’s bothering most people, is that the Steam API is publicly available to use and develop applications with. So why they sudden disappearance of these apps?
