I'm not supposed to be playing games right now to be honest. I'm pretty bust with my Uni-work, 1080 is great, True Crime is very enjoyable but really I can't play the game without feeling guilty. The comes along XIII,
You know that feeling Goldeneye had, that feeling you can't put your thumb on but made the game the legend it is. Yes Halo and Perfect Dark are technically better than it in EVERY WAY but Goldeneye had a special feeling that just made it surpass anything that has come to rival it. Well XIII has that same feeling.
The problem is the game's loading times are 30 seconds long and there are a lot of them. But with nice graphics, clever extras, a good feel to the weapons, a splash of comedy, a fantastic storyline, David Duchovny voicing the lead character and some nice flash backs.
You can't imagine how satisfying smash a chair over someone's head is or plating a pane of glass between the eyes.
FANTASTIC!

I get whatever magazine is on the shelf I like the look at... 9 times out of 10 that's NGC because they are pretty funny.
Though you can tell they love specific games.

So Mav reads one magazine where others choose to read more than one review to get a better picture of what they're buying.

Nah, any control style which doesnt resemble Goldeneye's Solitaire is total crap.
Nope - which is a bit of a shame. But the controls are top anyway (as long as you invert aiming), so it should be a problem. Except the lack of a button for throwing a grenade.
Can you customise your controls so that you can use the grey stick to look around, and use the C stick to move forward, back and strafe?
Oh - and on a XIII note, things start to get really, really good nearing the end. The level design really is superb, and it manages to avoid being too linear.
