The year 2000 brought several genre-defining releases, most notably Counter-Strike, which emerged from a Half-Life mod to become one of the most influential multiplayer shooters ever made. Deus Ex combined RPG depth with first-person action and a conspiracy-laden narrative that earned lasting critical praise. Hitman: Codename 47 also introduced Agent 47 to PC players that year. GameScrobbler tracks around 2,360 games from 2000.
