This magazine is called Edge is a multi-format video game magazine published by Future plc in
the United Kingdom, which publishes 13 issues of the magazine per year. Each issue includes a
"Making-of" article on a particular game, usually including an interview with one of the original
developers. Issue 143 introduced the "Time Extend" series of retrospective articles. Like the
"making-of" series, each focuses on a single game and, with the benefit of hindsight, gives an in-
depth examination of its most interesting or innovative attributes.[
"Codeshop" examines more technical subjects such as 3D modelling programs or
physics middleware, while "Studio Profile" and "University Profile" are single-page summaries
("like Top Trumps, but for game dev") of particular developers or publishers, and game-related
courses at higher education institutions.
