Editor's Note

It's a quick Ed note this week as I'm out of the office and quickly typing this up in a free Wi-Fi spot. Ah, technology - we hearts it so!

But that doesn't mean we're skimping on content, oh no. First up, we've got another exclusive Star Trek interview - this time we chat to Karl Urban about how it feels when a life-long fan of the franchise actually gets to play his favourite character.

On the gaming front there's a look at the first gameplay footage from Modern Warfare 2 (hint: it's looking AWESOME), and news of how you can get a chance to get inside the Starcraft 2 beta. If that's not big news, we'll eat a Zergling.

Finally, check out the gallery of last week's happening ASUS Insights event, which went off in a superbly Atomic way. Keep an eye out for more of these events at Atomic HQ - we like 'em!

Anyway, catch you next week, folks. Bye!

- David Hollingworth, Editor
