XIII

So I got this game last week and have spent way too much time playing it. It's based on a comic book from France about a man with no memory who's accused of murdering the President. He has to figure out how he is involved with a mysterious conspiracy of 20 men (he's number XIII, see) who are involved in the plot. And there's lots of shooting and blowing things up. It's a FPS, but it's done in a cel animation style that I find really cool. Plus, words appear, Batman (the TV show) style when active stuff happens. And if you shoot a bad guy who's in a high place, you get this little animation of him falling on part of the screen. It's very much like a cartoon from a comic book brought to life. David Duchovny does the voice of the main character (he sounds weirdly effeminate a lot of the time) and General Carrington is voiced by the as usual over the top Adam West. Oh, and the pumping 70s action movie sound track is pretty cool also. Check out their site for more info. Original game by Ubisoft, Mac port by Feral Interactive.
