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 haven't actually played the single player game. But the Xbox multiplayer on live is excellent.

Am I correct in that I recognise Adam West as a cast member?

Bought it on Sunday and I've played it once. I enjoyed the session though, being several hours long. Cant wait until I get a chance to play it more :)

Shame I've got so many games recently but barely played them, still got Zelda, Metroid, Viewtiful Joe, Burnout 2 and this to complete :x Cant complain I suppose :)

1-player is brilliant, so very addictive and plays like no other game. I especially love taking someone out from long-distance with an arrow.
