Click here and read it now!
This month sees T1 dabble in the shady lie of crime, as 2K Games’ gangster sequel Mafia II dominates the front cover. Does the series’ next-gen debut outing deserve your respect? Or should it be cast aside and left sleeping with the fishes?
The heist and gun play fun doesn’t stop there either, with Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days bursting onto the scene in a bid to right the wrongs of the original. They’re actually looking pretty good for a couple of dead men..
And if that isn’t enough run-and-gun fun for you, the frenetic action continues with a special preview of Natural Selection 2, an epic upcoming FPS from Unknown Worlds Entertainment, as well as a review of MMO-shooter Global Agenda, which was recently released in the UK and has adopted the growingly popular free-to-play model. Guns, explosions, crimes and robots…it doesn’t get much better than this! (more…)

The 100% free-to-read August issue of Thirteen1 is available now, featuring more reviews, previews and original features than you can shake a C.O.G Lancer’s chainsaw at!
Click here and read it now!
Perhaps unsurprisingly, August’s cover star is StarCraft II, the sequel to Blizzard’s genre-defining RTS, which has finally burst onto the scene after 12 years of agonising anticipation. But does T1’s self-confessed fan-boy think it was worth the wait? And just what did he get up to at the midnight launch event in London? You’ll find the answer to both right here in the latest issue.
The upcoming Nintendo 3DS is the talk of gaming-town right now, so Thirteen1 decided it was high time to get hands-on with the device themselves. The DrunkenGamer brings you his honest report of just how effective the handheld console is, as well as his take on some of the games you can expect to play on it. All in mind-boggling 3D!
He also got the chance to look at some of the titles shaping the Wii’s future, including Metroid Prime: Other M, Donkey Kong Country Returns, GoldenEye 007, Kirby’s Epic Yarn, and more. So much gaming goodness..and T1’s got it all covered for you.
In fact, this month’s issue of Thirteen1 is packed with reviews and previews, from Frima’s surprisingly polished PSN title, Young Thor, to a hands-on with FunCom’s latest MOBA (that’s Massive Online Battle Arena, if you didn’t know), Bloodline Champions, and a full tilt look at Youda Games fascinating casual poker game sequel, Governor of Poker II. It’s poker ‘and’ a proper game!

The South African fun is over, and unless you’re lucky enough to be Spanish (or don’t care about football), you’ll undoubtedly be nursing some kind of World Cup hurt..
Luckily, as always, gaming is here to act as a shining light in the darkest of times, and the 100% free-to-read July issue of Thirteen1 magazine is now available, covering all of the month’s top gaming releases.
There really is little reason to be down with all of this finger-bashing fun to be had.
The much anticipated Crackdown 2 has finally jumped onto the scene, and right onto the front cover of Thirteen1, probably leaping over a massive skyscraper while firing a rocket launcher in mid-air to get there. Does it live up to expectations? Check out T1’s extensive review of all things super-powered to find out.
EA have fittingly released FIFA Online just in time for everyone to right their personal international wrongs, so T1 has jumped straight in there to cover it with a beta hands-on. Will it prove as popular as it’s console counterpart?
The DrunkenGamer has had a great time flying around Cataclysm, the latest mind-blowing expansion for Blizzard’s World of WarCraft, and wishes you was there so much that he’s put together a brand new feature, Wish You Were Here, showing you all of the best areas before it’s released.

The 100% free-to-read June issue of Thirteen1 gaming magazine is now available, sporting a brand new design and packed with top gaming features!
T1’s slick, new-look, which is now fully social-media integrated, boasts more interactive screenshots and videos than you can shake a stick at.
Even the DrunkenGamer has had a facelift, not that it’s prevented him from jumping around the world of games with a Guinness in one hand, pad in the other. This month sees him finally review Frogster’s latest Runes of Magic content, The Elder Kingdoms, as well as get the opportunity to go hands-on with single-player campaign for Blizzard’s hugely anticipated StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty.
Of course, it just wouldn’t be the DrunkenGamer if there wasn’t any destruction, so he got behind the wheel of Disney’s explosive arcade-racer, Split/Second, and caused yet more mayhem in his very own version of Mafia MMO, Omerta.
Everyone is understandably going World Cup crazy at the moment – and who can blame them! Thirteen1 have well and truly caught the fever this year, with a World Cup special covering both EA’s 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, and Ubisoft’s Pure Football. Definitely one to check out if you’re still having trouble deciding on the perfect football game for your post-match parties.

Back in the early days of Thirteen1, we tried to start a feature known as ‘Ask the Game’. The concept was simple: we arranged a Q&A for a game, but the developers had to agree to allow the readers to set the questions.
We successfully organised several of these, but after a while they started to become less frequent (We’re not sure whether the users started to scare the developers, or that the developers had simply become too busy to allow time for them.)
You’ll notice that we have revived the feature, with varying levels of success, in recent issues of the magazine.
However, its true home is here, in public, on the site. So it gives me great pleasure to announce it’s homecoming with our first ‘Ask the Game’ of our new site.
Our first victims/volunteers are the ever helpful guys at Icarus Studios, creators of the post-apocalyptic MMO, Fallen Earth.
Fallen Earth is set in the year 2156, when a series of global disasters has befallen the earth. The only remaining habitable area of the planet is the Grand Canyon Province. Here, the human race struggles on, trying to rebuild society in one way or another. You enter the game as a clone, to find your place in the wasteland amongst the various factions that fight for control of the area. (more…)

This month’s issue of Thirteen1 gaming magazine is absolutely packed with top quality features!
Our DrunkenGamer has been on a gaming binge of epic proportions this month, starting with a tour of “Chapter III – The Elder Kingdoms“, the upcoming expansion for Frogster’s free-to-play MMO Runes of Magic, and culminating in a massive 8-page interview with Blizzard legend Tom Chilton!
The lovable inebriate even found time to traverse the desolate wastelands of Fallen Earth, courtesy of a tour with the game’s senior designer, but not before hacking his way through Rising Star’s top Wii slasher, No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle..
As if that wasn’t enough, he also managed to takeover his own version of browser-based mafia MMO, Omerta. Aptly dubbed the “Deathmatch” version, the DrunkenGamer will be using his MMO knowledge to spruce it up with his own ideas of how a game should work.
Our prediction – Omerta is about to see a whole lot of violence…
April saw the guys at Exor Studios release the brand new “Slaughter Mode” DLC for Zombie Driver, their bargain priced indie hit. Anyone who adds 50% more content to a game for free deserves some loving, so we got behind the wheel of the undead-basher again to see how the game has improved since launch.
If the sight of zombie limbs flying everywhere isn’t your thing, we suggest you check out the colourful universe of Allods Online, gPotato’s ’space-opera’ MMORPG, which finally gets it’s formal T1 review. Alternatively, if you’re after something a little more artsy-fartsy (we’re all about class), we definitely recommend you look into unique, hand-painted point-and-clicker, The Whispered World..
