Say hello to XIII - probably the most unique FPS of all time. Definitely one of the best. Discover it, play it and perhaps shed a tear at the lack of a sequel.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/xiii][/url]XIII is a first-person shooter based on the first five volumes of a popular Belgian comic book series. You're put in the shoes of XIII, badly wounded and with no recollection of your past. The American president has been assassinated and all of a sudden everyone's out to get you. Are you the assassin? Were you framed? Whoever you are, you must be damn important and you won't let anyone stop you from reclaiming your identity.
What makes XIII special is its comic book-style design. The characters and weapons are cel-shaded, outlines and all, and there's a whole bunch of stylish features, like visualized sound effects. Imagine shooting a gun and seeing "BLAM!" right next to the muzzle flash. Just how cool is that?
Finally, a great, involving storyline, a perfect musical score, and top-notch voice acting by such actors as David Duchovny and Adam West make XIII an absolutely epic game.
Whoop whoop - this is an absolutely incredible game. So stoked it's made its way to GOG..
I had a feeling I'd see this here.

Very nice release.
Definitely wish listed. Good to see Ubisoft really embracing the $6 price point now. Maybe we can expect some price reductions on other titles?
I remember buying this when it came out, and my disc was faulty! I took it back to the shop but they didn't have any more copies, so I got a refund and never played the game. I can rectify this now!
Great news! I'd also wanted to try out XII but just never got around to it so GOG's release gives me the perfect chance to experience an oft overlooked gem.
Great release. Shame about the cliffhanger ending, but that's what the comic books are for. The story is also quite different in the comics (the game roughly covers the first five tomes), so it's worth reading the comics anyway if the game has interested you in the world and story.

Hmm, looks very interesting... And it has multi-player too.
I still have it on my old Xbox but I never finished it because i was annoyed by the slowness of the xbox controller. Now on PC, I know it will be awesome. Thank you some much, an instant-buy!
Ah! This had so many installation CDs, I wanted to reinstall it last year but couldn't because I lost one of them! One of my favourite games of all time, will certainly be giving this a download in the near future :) Well done GOG
Another unexpected release! I know you heard this a hundred times, but you guys are amazing.
:)

Seems really interesting. Never heard of it, but it's from a time when I didn't really keep up to date with pc releases.

I will get this sometime, I like the visual style, and it would be fun to actually play a shooter with a story. The only other shooters I played were UT2004 and, uhm, Painkiller, so yeah..
Very nice game indeed.
One word of warning: the save game system is horrible: try to learn as soon as possible how the logic works, otherwise you can have some nasty surprises later.

That said, the game itself is easily recommended.

Oh, and it is another Ubisoft $ 5.99 release. Looks like we are finally getting reasonable prices from Ubisoft.

Good work GOG Team! No go tackle EA ...
