Abstract

Surge, subtitled The Pulse of Gaming, was a short-lived multiplatform gaming magazine from Bedford Communications, a publisher of technology periodcals. Though not explicitly targeting young men, the content of Surge seems to have been geared towards a college-age male audience. The magazine is also notable for its "Blueprint" section, which explores the making of recent high-profile games in depth.

Surge appears to have run for only four issues, publishing quarterly in 2004 before being quietly discontinued.
