"The leader of the free world has been assassinated and you are the prime suspect.

You wake up on a desolate strip of a New England beach. The near-fatal impact of a bullet has left your head pounding, and your memory erased. Whats more, the number "XIII" has been mysteriously tattooed on your chest, while your pocket holds a key to a New York City bank box. Head swimming in amnesia, you struggle to your feet only to encounter more assailants intent on finishing the job. To your shock, you handle the hitmen with the killing skills of a professional - before heading to the bank in search of any shred of information about your lost identity and your involvement in the President's murder.
The Ultimate Conspiracy.
Unravel a whirling conspiracy plot where your identity, the President's assassination, and the future of America are shrouded in mystery."


So Much Style Its Criminal.
Graphic novel presentation, flashback graphics and pop-up windows create a groundbreaking entry into the genre. XIII marshals the power of Unreal II technology and unique comic book visual styles.
Groundbreaking Gameplay.
Experience a wide variety of gameplay - cunning use of human shields, silent weapons and XIII's internal "sixth sense" that detects approaching enemies. To survive, youll master techniques ranging from covert infiltration to heavy combat as you battle sinister conspiratorial forces.
A Deadly Arsenal of Weapons.
Handle a dizzying array of weapons ranging from silent crossbows to precision sniper rifles, furious automatic weapons, chairs, bottles, ashtrays, shovels and even enemy soldiers' bodies.
A New Kind of Multiplayer.
Square off against other players in innovative multiplayer modes such as the cooperative Cover Me, along with classic modes such as Capture the Flag and Deathmatch.


This game looks very promising and will deffinately be on my list of games to get.

I heard that game was overrated. I also heard it was really hard, might be worth picking up just for the challenge.

I've downloaded and played the demo and I'd have to say it's pretty sweet. The cel-shaded graphics look nice and it's just fun to play.

I probably won't pick it up when it releases though, because of the long list of other games I'm wanting.

I've heard the same as you, Xenith. I tried a demo, too... man, where did I get that? Anyway, I didn't really care for it, but I go more for the Serious Sam-style shooter than the serious stuff.

It was completely overhyped, but it does have good production values. Gameplay I hear is so-so too just another FPS. The Xbox Live play give more replay but we will see.. expect a review from Xbox Evolved of course!

I dident really pay much attention to it at first and ignored it a bit but i've seen more of it and it seems interesting the more and more i hear about it and plus now that i know its on xbl i just might have to give it a rent and see how well i like it.

Argh - I just read another review and they LOVED it. Have you ever noticed how much reviews vary for some games? I mean, some sites will give a game a 6, and others will give it a 9.5. So frustrating...

Check it out:

Gamespot nominated XIII for "Worst Use of Celebrity Voice Acting". Charlie's Angels won, but I thought Duchovny would have done a good job...
