Editor's Note

Well, better late than never.

But don't worry, we have very good reason - this week we put issue 99 of the Atomic magazine to bed, and a very fine issue it is.

If I do say so myself.

But you're not reading this to learn about print news, you want digital news! Thankfully, we've got it in spades.

World of Warcraft fans (and we know there are one or two of you out there) have got a lot of neat stuff to look forward to in the upcoming 3.1 patch, and we've got a run-down of some of the cool stuff you can expect, including Blizzard Q&As, a video teaser and more.

We've also been keeping track of some of NVIDIA's various shenanigans. In between arguing like a married couple with Intel, the company has also been busy working out who to blacklist and who to butter up to regarding reviews of its 'new' GTS250 video card. We're just trying to keep them honest.

And, we're more than a little excited - still - after seeing Watchmen. It's a truly great film, and a very clever adaptation of the famous graphic novel. Read our full (spoiler-free) review to find out just how impressed we were.

And while you're doing all that, you might want to consider having a look at our Atomic Hot 100 poll, if you haven't already done so. We want to find out the best tech, games and Atomic moments of all time, and we need your help. If you want to be a part of Atomic history, then you need to be part of this poll - it might lead to some... very pleasant little surprises when issue 100 rolls around on the news stands.

Just watch this space - and the Atomic site - for more news.

Bye-bye for now!

- David Hollingworth, Editor
