It was a game project that was in the works at the biggest PC processor company in the world. Videos and screenshots of the game, code named Project Offset, generated a ton of excitement among PC gamers who saw it. And yet the project from developer Offset Software never came to pass as Intel canceled the project earlier this year.

What happened to what could have been one of the most innovative PC games ever made? In his first interview since the shut down of Project Offset, the developer's founder Sam McGrath tells Big Download why Intel wanted to have a game development team in the first place, what Project Offset was really supposed to be about and why Intel finally canceled the game. He also gives us the final word on if the team was able to keep the rights to the game and its graphics engine, the formation of his new game developer Fractiv and much more.
