http://www.thirteen1.com/Issues/mag.php go here now to skip the below text and dive straight into the January edition of Thirteen1 It seems we're all carrying a little Christmas cheer into January after the recent “deep freeze” - and as a gamer, why wouldn't you be happy? Q1 2010 is finally here! When you see the fantastic calendar of upcoming games, it's easy to find something to get excited about. This is going to be like Christmas round 2, only with better presents, less socks, and no need to buy anything for anybody else. Bring it on! Considering the amount of gaming goodness we're about to be battered with, Thirteen1 have put together a handy round-up of the 13 games they are looking forward to the most. We all know that Q1 2010 is going to be a time for wise purchases, so this should help. Of course, no self-respecting games publication can end a decade of gaming without looking back on it, so this month's Thirteen1 has a, sure to be controversial, countdown of the best games of the Naughties. This was hard to choose..almost too hard. Be sure to check which game they voted the best of the entire decade! There's guaranteed to be one or two surprise entries in there.. Following the recent merging of browser-based games company Wizard Productions (formerly Go3 Media), T1 decided to take to the streets of Mafia Corruption, their free2play mafia MMO, to see what all the fuss is about. Discover why BBG experts think this ranks as one of the best on the market. The Drunken Gamer has been at it again, stumbling from one game to another with a drink and computer mouse in hand. This month, the self-confessed 'trekkie' finally got the chance to go hands-on with the beta of Star Trek Online. Does it really have what it takes to please both fans of the series and hardcore MMO'ers? While taking a break from tackling the depths of space in his spaceship, the Drunken Gamer was also invited back to Frogster's swashbuckling Bounty Bay Online. The January issue of Thirteen1 has Part 2 of the cracking Beyond the Horizon tour, along with a bunch of rare pets to giveaway too! Fancy a proper scare? Then look no further than Jonathan Boakes' latest horror adventure game, Dark Fall: Lost Souls. Thirteen1 finally get hands-on with the sequel to the spooky Dark Fall: Lights Out, once again returning to the eerie Dowerton train station. A great way to follow up on their interview with Mr. Boakes in the December issue. They did review from it behind the couch, mind... With a massive Global Agenda feature, a superb Q&A with the geniuses behind Cletus Clay, free comps and giveaways and so much more, the Jan issue of free-to-read Thirteen1 is well worth the cover price (er..).

And before you ask - yes, James Pond makes an appearance! While taking a break from ogling Frosty's snowballs (err..), Thirteen1 caught wind of swashbuckling MMORPG Bounty Bay Online's latest expansion, which set sail this month. “Beyond the Horizon” promises loads of new areas and content to explore, so they sent the infamous Drunken Gamer on a tour to check it all out. He even shot and narrated a few videos for you! Be warned though, he may have had a couple of tipples before pressing the record button... Cool new publishers Iceberg are working with legendary game writer Jonathan Boakes on the upcoming, much-anticipated third instalment in the Dark Fall series – Dark Fall III: Lost Souls – due out in January. Thirteen1 decided it was time to talk to Mr Boakes himself and ask about all things ghost-hunting...this spooky interview is well worth checking out. Speaking of interviews, Thirteen1 stayed true to their word and sent all of your awesome questions over to the team behind The Secret World. It's about time gamers got some answers on FunCom's secretive MMO, and you know you want to see what they have to say... It's not all about the big, flashy MMORPG's though, and with the free2play browser-based market still booming, T1 thought it was time to check out Heroes of Gaia, the new big game on the bloc that is about as beautiful to play as it is to look at. Don't believe us? Check out the review, apologise, and try it for yourself. If medieval madness is more your thing, you need to jump straight to the in-depth review of top BBG MedievalWars – a feudal free2play experience with great gameplay, nice artwork and an extra emphasis on troops and battles! Still, no matter the time of year, and no matter the type of game, zombies are always welcome in Thirteen1. There's just something about mowing down a horde of the undead that appeals all year round. Zombie Driver, Exor Studios' brand new release, is an insane mix of cars, speed, explosions, blood and of course – Zombies. Sounded good, so T1 thought they'd get behind the wheel and see how it plays. If you like any of the above, you're going to want to read this review. Enjoy the issue, see you in 2010!

| Thirteen1 13th October Edition |
|
Thirteen1 - Press Release, Hull, Tuesday 13th October 2009. http://www.thirteen1.com/Issues/mag.php ← go here now to skip the below text and dive straight into the latest edition of Thirteen1 The October 13th edition of the free-to-read, interactive online gaming magazine Thirteen1 is available now, packed with the latest previews, reviews, interviews and exclusive giveaways! The scariest time of the year is almost here, with Halloween and it's ghostly ghouls waiting to scare the wits out of us all on October 31st. To keep in with the theme, Thirteen1 braved the often depraved internet and went in search of the most fittingly scary browser-based game available – and found it, in Jagged Blade Soft's new zombie-blasting MMORPG, Dead Frontier! Be sure to check out the review and get yourself some quality, free-to-play Halloween action now. Not content with finding one of the web's best horror titles, T1 furthers the celebration of all things spooky with a run down of the 13 Scariest Moments in Gaming, EVER! What has made gamers fill their pants the most while playing; was it the freaky Alma from F.E.A.R? The surgeon's shadow from BioShock? Or even the music of death as Sonic starts to drown underwater? To be honest, the answer is so obvious that you'll kick yourself if you haven't already guessed it. It's not all scares though, with plenty of other games and features to sink your teeth into. Thirteen1 sends MMO expert The Drunken Gamer stumbling into the Greek-inspired GodsWar Online, takes a careful tour around the gun-toting saloons of one of the only Western MMORPG's available, The West, and prevent a “creeper” from taking over the world in ridiculously good indie RTS Creeper World. There's also a good old flight session with Aion, some 2D brawler action with King of Fighters XII, a follow up article with the guys behind Evony (Thirteen1's last article was rather controversial..oops!), a look at iPhone game Hattrick (Spring Loaded Soccer), a brand new hardware section, a build up to one of Britain's must-attend gaming events, The Best of British, and much, much more. Comps and Giveaways There are some absolutely awesome top-of-the-range Sharkoon Xtatic gaming headphones to be won – and they've even reviewed them for you too, just incase you need to know how good they sound before entering the free competition. T1 also bring you the cracking Retro gaming giveaway again, along with loads of other game goodies to win – including GodsWar Online, Jolt Online's sublime Legends of Zorks, €100 worth of goodies for InnoGame's The West, and copies of Creeper World!
