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!

Downloadable games are well and truly kicking ass
at the moment, what with arty-puzzler Limbo and
the superbly titled DeathSpank showing everyone
how it should be done. But which is best? And what
about extreme speedboat racer Hydro Thunder
Hurricane? T1 has the answers for you.

 

As usual, T1 features a 13-1 countdown of
important gaming topics, and this month\'s look at
gamings most controversial curveball moments is
sure to cause a stir. Check it out now to see if
you agree with their number 1 choice.

You can also see what happened when the guys at
Project TriForce sent Thirteen1 one of their brand
new replica C.O.G Lancers - a 15 pound beast that
looks and feels so realistic, you\'d be forgiven
for getting carried away and trying to chainsaw
your friends in half. N.B. The T1 crew did just
that...

 

Throw in a comprehensive round-up of ComicCon\'s
best bits; Mrs DrunkenGamer\'s anticipated return
with a preview of We Sing Encore (she can sing.
The T1 chaps really, really can\'t); reviews of
top gaming soundtracks; a Mario-splashed retro
corner; a huge feature on how you can break into
the industry; and more; and you\'ve got plenty to
sink your teeth into this month.

 

Oh, and don\'t forget to search for T1\'s Badger
mascot, who\'s hidden himself on one of the
magazine pages. There\'s a rather awesome
Nerdoh.co.uk t-shirt in it for you!

 

Enjoy!
