Atomic is having babies. Lots and lots of little babies, with more being conceived all the time!

We’ve spent a little while dressing up our Rise of Legends baby site. Now it’s got photos from the wonderful night, and soon there will be videos.

Today we’ve launched another baby – the Prey PC competition.

It’s a very unique chance to win a custom modded top shelf PC, themed on the 3D Realms game Prey. It’s going to be a cracker.

These babies site with the latest game microsite we’ve put up – Titan Quest!

So much activity on the Atomic site, so much content! So many things to look at and read, I’d be surprised if you had any time for anything else this long weekend.

Have a great one!

Ben
