Editor's Note

Too soon?

Anyway, welcome to another mostly packed edition of the Atomic Weekly Newsletter.

We've noticed that the old newsletter is getting kinda... huge. With the increase in content we're posting to the site, this missive has expanded like a fat kid in a cake factory. So, to try and streamline things, we're only going to suggest to you what we think is the best and brightest stories of the week.

Our super-top stories this week cover a wide range of topics. We start off with an interview and overview of the new Wolfenstein game, as we chat to id Community Manager Peter Sokal about the Veil, nazis, and crazy psychic powers.

Keeping the gaming going strong, we also have a breaking news piece on the Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition, and the cool swag that comes in the box - hint: it lets you see in the dark! And it's not a torch!

On the hardware front, we've got some interesting and distrubing news coming out of Taiwan about memory chip failures coursing through the RAM building industry, and a sneak peak photo gallery of Logitech's G13 Advanced Gameboard.

Good times.

And, of course, a mess of other highly cool stuff. If you prefer the old, more jam-packed version of the newsletter, let me know.

- David Hollingworth, Editor
