Although as a whole I would agree that these two video games are not social but on the other hand I think there can be certain situations and anecdotes that prove otherwise. Personally, I believe that those two video games were tools for social interaction for me. I grew close to my cluster in my dorm my freshman year, by playing networked Halo 2 on our floor. We not only had headsets to communicate with each other but also between games we would meet out in the hall and celebrate our victories or complain about our defeats to our fellow cluster mates. Counter Strike had a less social effect on me, but I did used to play Counsterstrike with some of my good friends and communicate over our headsets. (nwithers)

I definately think that videogames are social. Aty least to the extent to where you either have a headset or, the desire to play videogames such as Halo 2 brings groups of friends together. I know in high school, there were kids that made Halo Friday. Of course it was for people who didnt go out much, but it stil allowed them to build social relationships with their own friends. I mean to them it was just a small little party that anyone who wanted to come was invited to.
