May, 2009
It's here. Issue 100, a milestone for Atomic and Atomicans.
And, more importantly, it's an issue packed to the gills with good stuff. Not only is there a special celebratory feature listing the hottest 100 hardware vendors, games, people and Atomic history of all time, but there's all the usual reviews, features and commentary you've come to expect.
In fact, speaking of commentary, scattered throughout the issue are columns from all the previous editors - Logan Booker, Ashton Mills, and of course Atomic's founder Ben Mansill. It's a great look back at the history of the magazine.
And then there's the big list. We polled you, the readers, for you best in games, your favourite writers and features, your preferred hardware builders, put it all together in the biggest countdown we've ever run - and it's full of your views and comments. This is a list for Atomicans, and by Atomicans.
Finally, we've also included a special limited edition collecters' poster. We've taken user avatars from the previous versions of our forum and created something uniquely Atomic out of them. It's the ultimate expression of what Atomic's all about, and if you've not bought the mag in some time, this is an issue you simply must get.
Enjoy!
