Editor's Note

Greetings, Atomicans!

This is your special, delayed-so-we-can-bring-you-good-news edition of the newsletter. And that good news? Another Atomic LAN Event!

This time we've got a night of beer, pizza (the stuff that all goods nights are made of) and the hot upcoming shooter/RPG hybrid Borderlands. What could be better than four-player co-op with your Atomic buddies?! Not much, really, so check out the Top Story below to get the deets.

Other top news includes the Xbox 360 price drop, a cool bit of bionic future tech that we'd sell our girlfriend to get hold of, and a picture gallery of our time with Weta Workshop's very own Warthog, from the almost-but-not-quite Halo film.

And speaking of events, don't forget the Power to the PC tour! Coming to a Sydney and Melbourne near you.

By for now!

- David Hollingworth, Editor
