XIII is lucky for conspiracy lovers

First the bad news about XIII, It is a saga that doesn’t end. When you’ve killed off all the bad guys and apparently saved the day, you get a big fat To be continued message. That’s because this new console and PC game from UbiSoft: adventure covers only the first five volumes of the 15-issue comic book series that serves as the basis for this game. Enough material remains for at least two sequels.

Although I like a multi-part adventure as much as the next person, I also like to know in advance if I’m not getting a complete story.

Unfortunately, there is no such warning for players of XIII (thirteen) as they try to determine if the main character in the game is really guilty of assassinating the US president. It’s probably no coincidence that this tale of government conspiracy stars David Duchovny, best known for his role as an FBI agent in television’s The X-Files. The series spent nine years tantalizing viewers with stories of alien abductions, government cover-ups and secret cabals. In XIII, Duchovny is the voice of a government agent found washed up a New England beach, his memory wiped after being shot in the head. —Reuters
