Atomix is a popular Mexican magazine among video game consumers in Latin America. Published monthly, it was created by a group of video game and Anime fans in 1996. Its original website was named Limit-X and it was the biggest Spanish-language online community about video game and Anime industry. It began as an independent project by Oscar Noriega (Akira) and Jesus Zhu. Limit-X was renamed Atomix just before the first number was published.

Atomix was the first publication in Latin America that discussed all game consoles; earlier Latin American gaming magazines (such as Club Nintendo) focused on a single console. Atomix continues to be a large online community and has a weekly TV show and with international distribution in Latin America.
