(To clarify, because the question has been asked: no, we haven't produced Edge 418 as a video cassette. As per tradition, it is made of paper. Although you could buy a digital version. Albeit without this packaging, obviously. Thank you for your attention to this matter.)

The making of Counter-Strike is my favourite article I have worked on at Edge so far. It's out now as part of issue 418. A short clip here.

Another great article in this month's edition.
I've wanted to write something about Dreams for *years*, and thanks to Edge, I finally got the chance to do so. It's no exaggeration to say that it could have been a revolution in the industry, but it didn't work out that way.

I got a Steam library that's so backed up because the Q1 launch schedule is a large type asshole. I got a bunch of online friends. We're passing each other on the downslope of a weekly BF6 group, my third. 'Cos I spend all my time interviewing developers like you about their games. That's my life.

Underrated, misunderstood, a game that gets better the more I think about it. Reid and I discuss the structure, style and themes, and how Invisible War serves as a spiritual link between two eras of immersive sims.
