Editor's Note
That writer of mine has such little faith!
We're fresh from seeing (experiencing? surviving?) Michael Bay's latest assault on good taste, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and our full (mildly spoilery) review is one of our top stories. This movie's going to be plastered on billboards, fastfood and more, so you may as well find out what all the fuss is about - and we tell you straight.
On the tech front we've gotten quite excited about Xigmatek's latest hunk of cooling gear, and Justin's continuing to sort through his eleventy-billions photos from Computex. His latest hot topic?
Booth babes and weird stuff. Yeah, we love it too.
Finally, we've got a cinematic (and dramatic) trailer for the upcoming Assassins' Creed 2, which has left us pretty breathless with anticipation.
Plus the usual range of 'a whole lot more'. Finally, if you've got something to say, something you want to ask, or just want to hang out with us and other likeminded geeks, get on over to the Atomic Forums. It's the only place to be!
