Hmmm...

The facts are as follows:

There was a trip in March to Valve's HQ in which we were privileged enough to play HL2 for the first time. PC Gamer and PC Zone were both on this trip.

The cover was the price of the trip. This was the first time anyone got to play HL2 and so we had to be there. But to be allowed through the door, all magazines had to commit to a HL2 cover.

In Gamer's case, it had to be the cover out in April too because we'd committed the next cover to the first look at Knights Of The Old Republic 2. So April was the only cover we had free.

However, there was also an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) in place which prevents all media publishing the material they'd gathered from the trip until April 29. This meant that the material gathered on the trip would miss our issue out April 15. What could we do? We had to do the cover in April to go on the trip. Yet we couldn't report what we had seen until our issue after April 29, which meant waiting until our issue out May 13.

Hohum.

do you get EDGE magazine in america? It's an amazing magazine. I got asked if i wanted to do work experience there a few years ago but i couldn't cos of exams and where i live

Edge is the only magazine I read nowadays, but I doubt they will have a HL2 preview soon.
I can't see them having agreed with a mandatory HL2 cover, so I don't expect that they were present at the hands-on presentation in March.
