New bits are cool bits, and today we’re pleased and happy to present to you two exciting new Atomic bits.

First cool bit is Culture Shock. As inspired by the mag section of the same name, we are extending a bit beyond computers and games, and getting into film and books. And anything that is ‘culture’, really. So here’s an open invitation to the Egyptian Ministry of Tourists to send us to review some pyramids. We’d do that. Or the Louvre to review some pictures.

Until that happens, we’ll stick to films and books.

The other big thing is that we’ve grouped together everything that’s ever scored 9/10 or higher. Hot awards stuff is where the best of the bloody best lives. It’s helpful for knowing what to spend money on.

Have a lovely weekend!
