It’s very rare to see a video game review in weblogs these days, especially on mine; because I’m not a gamer. But my young brother revceived an XBox for XMas (see the link?) and he bought the game XIII recently. The game is based on the popular comic book serie which goes by the same name.

The game is really, really great. It reminds me of the Goldeneye game on Nintendo 64. The single mode is very complete and the multi-player mode (splitscreen) is very interesting, with 6 or 7 play modes.

But where the game is better than other FPS games, is in the single mode; and especially, the story. The story captivated me like no other ones did in a video game. You are Steve Roland, the number XIII in the XX Clan. You can’t remember anything else. You’ll have to find who are the other numbers in the conspiration. And I can’t even tell you how the game ends, simply because I didn’t get the to end yet. Really good game, go buy it or rent it immediately.

OK. Now I’m off to prepare myself for tonight’s Super Bowl XXXIX. Lot of X’es in this post, right?
