Issue 88 on sale now

atomic issue 88. On sale now

****** on sale 14th April ******

Please note Atomic's 'on sale' date has been delayed due to a delivery problem - it will be in all stores as of Monday 14th April.

It's another month and another smashing issue of Atomic to rock your gaming and hardware socks off! We've got a world first look at the upcoming Dawn of War 2, with dev and designer interviews, screenshots and gameplay details. It's an awesome looking game. It's a game-tastic issue, this month, as we also have a full version of Pirates of the Burning Sea to give away – you can even check out our review of the game (hint: pirates = cool!), plus more strategy titles besides.

Over in hardware land, we've got some controversial reviews of the new 9-series range of graphics cards from NVIDIA. Has the darling of the gaming community gone a series too far? On top of that, there's mobo reviews, new RAM to drool over and the latest monster screen from Dell. On the feature front we've got a guide to making your name as an amateur game developer, and Dan Rutter takes a look at some real world hacks and how they work. Finally, if you want to better yourself – or just build cool stuff – there's Ron's latest crazy project: he's building his own race car cockpit.

All that, and much more. Don't miss it!
