The modding community has really outdone itself on this wildly creative Counter-Strike map inspired by Shadow Of The Colossus; it is absolutely gorgeous and only a 160mb download. Unfortunately it doesn't turn your character into a colossus -- it's just an uber cool map that made Steam infinitely more interesting this week. Some forum members have reported that it is very resource intensive and will reduce your gaming rig to Atari frame rates, but if you've got the goods beneath the hood by all means enjoy. Credits, download mirrors, and whodunnit after the jump. Don't miss the gallery on this one; if these guys don't work in the gaming industry their phones should ring this week. Most new commercial games don't even look this good!

oh. right.
but that aside those shots are fucking awesome
Okay so I didnt like it that much either. Climbing wasnt my bag..
Running through by myself was pretty though!
lmao
and why the hell do you change your avatar so often
But this really does look amazing, going to download right now (fingers crossed my computer doesn't take one look at it, then pack its bags and leave me).
After a few rounds of blowing up the colossi, I came to the conclusion that Mimi IS the new fragrance, and that this map is not just eye candy (as long as you have more than 16 people (who have played the map before)).
A lot of people hated colossus. I loved it but I had nothing to expect. All I saw was a screenshot and a video and wanted it. Some people were failed by the hype it recieved, other people it just wasn't their thing.
