XIII (2003 Video Game)
We Need More Comic Book Games

Warning: Spoilers
If there were more games like this I would never leave my house. XIII is a comic book style game with more celeb voice acting than I have ever heard before. You start out on a beach, with no memory. Some lifeguard takes you to her hut. You pass out and wake up on a bed in her hut. You then hear a knock on the door and machine gun fire. You see the nurse fall down dead. The first level makes you confused and you really feel like you don't have any memory. You are then thrown into the plot of finding not only your identity, but uncovering the conspiracy of who killed the president as well. One of the coolest features of this game are the flashbacks. They happen at random times and give you clues to how the game ends. Another cool feature are the side panel views that shows you someone's death step by step . This game has more plot twists than I can even count. It will keep you guessing until the end. The game play is standard FPS. You shoot people, people shoot you. This is unfortunately a short game. It only took about 10 hours to beat. The multiplayer ,however, is very fun and takes you back to the Goldeneye days. This game is definitely worth renting and I would recommend buying it. I can't wait for the sequel to come out.
