XIII

Under-rated gem. The best FPS in years!

Wow! That was my first reaction to XIII. Visually it completely blows you away, there is absolutely nothing else like it. So many have copied the style since, but this is where cell-shading all started off. From the very first level you know you're playing something a bit special.

Once XIII starts it never stops, the guns are sooooooo satisfying and weighty, the enemies are incredibly smart and some of the gameplay features are ingenious. Pick up and throw broken glass if you like! Think of it and its probably in XIII.

The story in this game is the best bit. The conspiracy is so well woven and you can tell it was once a comic book with a cult following before it became a game and you just can't fault a game with Adam West doing a bit of voice acting!

Probably the best story driven FPS ever, the only problem is that no one plays it online any more.
