XIII the game was awesome. David Duchovny did the voice for the lead character. Basically, its a story about a guy who wakes up on a beach and can't remember who he is and what happened to him. Then, he slowly regains his memory throughout the game as well as his "super-skills" like silent walking, lock-picking, dual pistol use, etc. The game was made in a comic-book like style and the story was pretty good, leaving gamers an ending for a perfect sequel. Unfortunately, the sequel never came.

I remember reading about the game and about Duchovny doing the voice of the main character but I had no idea that they were making a movie or tv show based on it.

Actually, XIII is a belgian comic before they made a game out of it. Wikipedia entry It draws heavily on the plot of "The Bourne Identity" in the first books, mixed with a fictionalized Kennedy assassination. Over the course, it became pretty independent in plot and character design. Heavy recommendation for all fans of french-belgian comics and conspiracy/action themes.

I will have to check it out tonight. Guess that means I will miss watching The L Word with the sound off though.

There wasn't anything happening. They did the assassination, but didn't really set up any plot lines. The guy who killed the president got shot and ended up in a tree. Amazingly enough, he is found by a guy who is married to a retired doctor who takes care of him. It just wasn't going anywhere.

Then you missed a lot. The assassin was NOT the guy in the tree.
