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!

Erm, I thought XIII was very average. They couldn't concentrated more on the level designs and AI placement.
Personally I'd rather take a look at reviews from both Gamespot and IGN.
I flicked through 1 issue of Gtm - It's like EDGe for people who like high scores

Was I replying to Rickoss? No.
Is Mav a fool? Yes.
Why would I be saying someone who hasn't actually PLAYED XIII on Live cannot fathom it's multiplayer depths?
It was a general statement, I thought I'd set out my opinion.

You can't dismiss Rickoss' opinion on the grounds that he can't 'fathom it's depths' just because he has better taste in games than you.
and I was talking about the Live multiplayer.
Team deathmatch is probably the best for satisfaction, although death match is really good fun too.
If you want to get to the top of the scoreboard immediately then you're going to be dissapointed.
The multiplayer's excellent, especially now people've had a bit of time to get settled in.
If you can't fathom it's depths then quite frankly: poor you.

Console multiplayer is pretty damn dire, haven't played LIVE, but it's probably a lot better. Probably XIII's only problem, seeing as 1-Player is surprisingly brilliant. Stupidly, in fact.
I've heard the Live play is awful.
