Issue 90 on sale now

atomic issue 90. On sale now

It's a bold Atomic world this month, as we delve into the secrets of console hacking! In our special cover feature, Jake Carroll, quite possibly the brainiest man alive, takes us on a special journey that will leave you with the power to unlock the secrets of your Xbox, PS3, or handheld console. From hardware hacks to software mods, this is a must-have guide for anyone who wants that little bit more access and control over their favourite lounge-room hardware.

But that's not all! Leigh Dyer gets into his own bit of hand-holding, with a guide to how Windows users can get the most out of Linux. In this first part of the article he walks us through installing Ubuntu, and where and how it differs from Windows. Good stuff! We've got a couple of gaming laptops on the slab, as well, including the latest from maestro PC makers AlienWare. Surely if anyone can make a kick-arse gaming laptop that actually does what it promises on the tin, AlienWare can.

Our Head2Head is another chilly exploration into PC cooling, and this time Josh Collins gets his hands wet with some liquid solutions to keeping your PC running smooth. Plus there's the usual range of latest motherboards, new graphics cards and bleeding edge RAM solutions. All made to work up a sweat in our vigorous testing. Finally, we take a stroll through the blood-soaked lands of Hyborea, with our review of the latest MMORPG hit, Age of Conan.... more
