Thirteen1
Owned by T1 Publishing Ltd, Thirteen1 is a completely free to read gaming e-zine based in East Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Founded in March 2008 by three gaming enthusiasts, Daniel Allen, Craig Franklin and Paddy Fellows; what began as a potential idea over a cold pint quickly developed into a stellar (that's 'stellar', not 'stella'..we're all ale drinkers here!) business idea. The idea behind the site was a simple one - to provide gaming news and reviews written by gamers, for gamers. But unlike other similiar websites, two key points would set T1 apart from the crowd: 1) The main news and features would be delivered in a completely free, browser-based magazine with shelf magazine production values. 2) All areas of the industry would be given fair and unique coverage. 'AAA' games may have excellent graphics, but that doesn't mean they're any more fun to play than an indie browser game coded by 1 guy in his underpants.
