Maybe it's not "cool," but sometimes we like to pretend that The X-Files is still on the air. Playing a DVD every Sunday night at 9:00 (8:00 Central) is easy. During the week, however, actually pretending the show is still relevant can be tough. Now, thanks to GoG.com, it just got a little easier. The site has just added XIII, a 2003 cel-shaded shooter starring none other than Agent Mulder himself, David Duchovny.
And yes, we realize that The X-Files ended in 2002, before XIII was even released, but as we've established, we like to pretend.

That whole "Is Mulder dead? Is Mulder alive?" got old, real quick.
I mean, he left the show because 1. (Supposedly) he wanted more money, 2. He was (supposedly) afraid of getting typecast. But he showed up on the damn thing over and over again as a "hint". So if he's there as an illusion, or a hallucination, or a clone/copy/alien whatever, he's still on the show, right? He's just not headlining it at the time.

Well, whatever his motivation was, he made this point and wasn't typecast after all. Unfortunatelly for us, the show became crap after his departure. Up to the point he was abducted, it was cool. Afterwards, it became a huge mess. Not as if it wasn't quite messy before, but this new mess was hard to care about.
And don't get me started on the series finale...

Have you been spying on me Joystiq.
Also GOD watching David Duchovny, Why Don't You Love Me? in 1911 mode makes the video insanely funny.
I always wanted to pick up XIII for Xbox but never did, now I got the chance.

This is possibly the weirdest tangent Joystiq has ever taken. Possibly.

I've never watched the X-Files, but I'll be darned if these brilliant lyrics don't make me want to start.

XIII is one of my favourite games of all time; it's a shame they will never make a sequel!

The X-Files are pretty much responsible for my keen interest in TV, some good memories. I haven't watched the show in ages but I imagine that most of it hasn't aged well.

Best casting for a show ever. No question.

The picture makes me wonder if they mistakenly put his game on GayOldGames.com...
