This is arguably the most evil issue Atomic has ever produced.

Why? What could be more evil than this month's cover, featuring Agandaur, a fallen Numenorean in service to the Dark Lord Sauron, seeking to overthrow Middle Earth and usher in an age of darkness... yeah, this issue has an exclusive hands on preview of Lord of the Rings: War in the North. 

We also have a close look at the Diablo III beta, and talk about the impact of abuse in online gaming. Tired of smacktalk? Check out our feature.

On the hardware front, we look at Micro-ATX cases to find the perfect tiny box for your next perfect, tiny system.

And, of course, a whole mess more - on sale now.

** Atomic is also available as a digital magazine - on tablet, notebook, PC, even smartphone! Only $4.95 per issue or $49.95 for a year **
