"Beam me up and register me as a member of the federation!" - Thirteen1's Drunken Gamer, T1 issue 22

Once again, we're giving away entry to the beta of Cryptic's highly anticipated upcoming MMORPG, Star Trek Online.

STO has finally hit it's open beta ~~phaser~~ phase, meaning the fine guys behind the game have given us a whopping 500 keys for you to get your hands on

We will be giving the keys away on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limit of 1 key per person* - so no cheating! We track your IP and e-mail address, just to make sure you don't try to be crafty and get more keys than you deserve.

All you have to do is enter your e-mail address in the form Here. That's it. If there are any keys left we'll send one straight to your inbox, which you can redeem for access to the open beta and all the Trekkie goodness you can shake a gin'tak spear at!

You can read the massive Thirteen1 hands-on preview of Star Trek Online here - http://www.thirteen1.com/Issues/1313110/mag.php#28 Read More (3 Comments)

January Issue Out Now!

January 13, 2010, 02:02:18 pm - Paddy

With us only just easing out of the vice-like grip of a “deep freeze”, or “awesome snowman building time!”, as we like to call it here in the Thirteen1 office, everybody can be forgiven for still carrying a little Christmas cheer this late in January.

And why not? 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 barrage of gaming goodness we're about to be battered with, we figured the perfect way to start the year would be a nice, handy round-up of the 13 games we're 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 we have 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 we voted the best of the entire decade! Read More (4 Comments)
