Counter-Strike 2 Update: Rush Hour Valve just dropped a new Counter-Strike 2 update called “Rush Hour,” and the main addition is a brand-new 3v3 mode called Rush. Rush is pretty different from the normal CS2 experience. Instead of playing on the same competitive maps, teams move through a series of smaller battle arenas that are randomly picked during the match. Because of that, you do not really know exactly what kind of situation you are going to be thrown into next. The mode is meant to be fast. Teams have limited money, rounds move quickly, and there is not much time to sit around waiting for something to happen. You either wipe out the other team or stay alive long enough to take control of the tower. Winning pushes your team...

Jailbreak For Dummies: How To Play JB Welcome to Jailbreak. You've been convicted of a crime you definitely committed and your only legal path to freedom is murdering every correctional officer in the building. The justice system at work. You play as either a Prisoner or a Guard. One Guard can type !w to become Warden, which requires a mic. The server's only real qualification for absolute power. The Warden runs the round with their voice, so shut up while they're talking. Yes, you. Especially you. If you're a Prisoner: You wake up in a cell. Stay in it. When cells open, you follow orders. You get three seconds to comply, which sounds harsh until you realize half the server needs six seconds just to find their W key. Ignore an...

Trouble In Terrorist Town For Dummies: How To Play TTT Welcome to Trouble in Terrorist Town, where Counter-Strike turns into a murder mystery and the guy following you down a hallway may either be your teammate or preparing to erase you from the round. At the start of each round, you're randomly assigned one of three roles: Innocent, Detective, or Traitor. Innocents and Detectives work together to find the Traitors, while the Traitors know who each other are and try to kill everyone else without getting caught. The entire game is built around figuring out who is lying before they figure out you're onto them. If you're an Innocent: Grab a weapon, stay involved in the round, and pay attention to what people are doing. You do not know...

GTA VI: An Extended Look We're getting closer and closer to GTA VI's release date, and for some, November 19th can't come fast enough. Fans have been waiting for the next installment in the legendary series for 13 years. Over the past handful of weeks, Rockstar Games has been radio silent amid various game leaks and sour media attention. On August 27th, Rockstar released its "GTA VI: An Extended Look" exclusively on Netflix, racking up over 30 million views on the platform alone. The traffic was so massive it crashed the Netflix website multiple times during the premiere. Safe to say, the hype hasn't died down. Players are more excited than ever, with 4.86 million preorder copies sold since launch. In the exclusive 26-minute extended...

FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY - THE RETURN OF DAY OF DEFEAT: SOURCE In case you missed it - we recently announced one of the biggest milestones in the history of EdgeGamers: after years of legal battles we have fully secured the trademark for our name. Since the trademark announcement we have not had a chance to truly celebrate. Well, it's officially time to celebrate! And it's only appropriate that we commemorate this momentous day by going back to where EdgeGamers started - DAY OF DEFEAT: SOURCE. Day of Defeat: Source is a team-based WW2 themed shooter that was first released in 2005. More importantly to us, DoD:S was the game that EdgeGamers was founded on in 2006. Back to where it all began! This Saturday, September 5th, we will be raising...

When you think of games that are 20 years old that still have a large online player base; what games come to mind? The most common answer would usually be a MMORPG or MOBA. Dota, RuneScape, Wow, EVE Online (somewhere GardenGroveVW’s ears are burning) just to name a few. Or maybe some RTS titles like Age of Empires 2 and StarCraft. It’s not as common for a casual FPS game to last long - the average life span of most first person shooter titles is roughly 1 to 3 years. But there is one game that is near and dear to my heart that will be turning 20 in 2007. A game that can trace its roots back 30 years to the very early days of online gaming. A game that is just as synonymous with Half-Life and Valve history as Gordon Freeman and Steam...

We Are EdgeGamers® EdgeGamers® Officially Earns Registered Trademark Today is a historic day for EdgeGamers® as our name officially earns its registered trademark from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, fully owned and recognized by this community, not licensed. This monumental milestone comes after many years of behind-the-scenes work from our founders and current Chief Executive Officer, @GardenGroveVW. In 2009, EdgeGamers was forced to relinquish our original registered trademark following a dispute with an entity claiming ownership of the word “edge” within the gaming space. What followed were years of legal arguments, challenges, and work to reclaim what had been part of EdgeGamers from the beginning. In 2011 and...
