Small, independent game companies seem to sprout up all the time but few had done so with as much attention as Games Faction. The UK based studio is made up of just three people (including former Deep Red Games team members Lee Hickey and Malcolm Reed) but they managed to get their first game, the tactical sci-fi RTS title Project Aftermath, on Valve's Steam download service.

So what made this small staff want to make a game? Big Download got Games Faction co-founder Hickey to talk to us about his company, Project Aftermath, his thoughts on the PC game industry, the DRM debate, and their plans for the future.
