Editor's Note

Things are beginning to get quiet on both the tech and gaming fronts, as both industries gear up for their respective big days out - Computex in Taiwan and E3 in Los Angeles USA.

But we're still finding some good stuff to tide you over, and here's some of the best.

Fresh today we have a juicy new video walkthrough of Bioshock 2, chock full of Big Daddies and Little Sisters - and more than a few surprises.

We've also been playing around with XFX's latest, the HD4770. It's a cheap, well-sized video card, and it has totally blown us away. This puppy overclocks like no card we've ever seen - check out our sneak peak review!

On the crazy science front we've been looking at DARPA's latest release on what they're working on, and boy is it some CRAZY SCIENCE. Do you like Quantum Entanglement? We do, and this article is full of that stuff.

Finally, at least in our top stories, we've got a round up of great online resources for coders and programmers in our latest Atomic.edu article.

Plus... news, reviews and all the rest. Enjoy!

- David Hollingworth, Editor
