XIII: UbiSoft Reveal New Screens
Stylish cel-shaded firstperson shooter gets new screens, picks up a few awards at this year's ECTS.
Recognising the promising quality of XIII at this year's ECTS, the panel of judges awarded UbiSoft with 'Overall Best Game of the Show' as well as 'Best Console Game of the Show' for XIII, the stylish firstperson shooter scheduled for release at the end of October for all formats (and a GameCube version due two weeks after).
To mark the game's celebrated showing at ECTS, which in our opinion looks good enough to pick up awards but currently plays like any average firstperson shooter you'd care to mention, here are the new screens released by UbiSoft.
