Game Development à la Mod on Business 2.0 is on the topic of "Counter-Strike, The Accidental Blockbuster" (thanks Tm.Prometheus). The article describes the game's rags-to-riches story from humble beginnings as a Half-Life mod, its development on a sub-shoestring budget, offers quotes from Valve Software managing director Gabe Newell on what Counter-Strike has meant to the ongoing success of Half-Life, discusses other mod success stories, and caps off describing Counter-Strike's Minh Le as "working hard on a Counter-Strike sequel in the basement of his parents' home."
