XIII (Mac)

Summary: So awesome
Review: I've played this on my friend's PC, and it is SO much fun. First, while some people call the graphics "old fasioned", or something, they do exactly what they are supposed to do- they make it look like a well done comic book. Half of what makes the game so much fun are its comic book aspects, including "tap, tap, tap" written on the screen when someone is approaching and panels across the top or in the corners showing still-frames at certain points in the game. Also, the game actually does have a storyline, and a pretty good one, making it much more than a simple "shoot anything that moves" game. Finally, the gameplay is a ton of fun because, while it does have a lot of the normal 1st person shooter aspects, also you can do irregular things like knocking people out with ashtrays, chairs, beer bottles, etc. and then carrying these people's bodies to other areas to hide them.

Summary: absolutely brilliant
Review: This is a game you could show non gamers and not feel nerdy in the slightest due to the fact that it is a well drawn 50's comic book story in game format, quite extraordinary! The music is good and touches such as close up squares showing the detail of characters demise add to the proffessional quality of this game. It is quite simply the most visually inventive thing to have been made in the history of gaming.
