CONSPIRACY
Discover the identities of The XX, an organization that aims to overthrow democracy in the USA. Sometime after its creation, The XX began to recruit other like-minded and politically powerful individuals and took control of SPADS (Special Assault and Destruction Squads) turning them into mercenaries under the employ of The Mongoose.
ABOUT XIII
XIII is a first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Paris and published by Ubisoft. Loosely based on the first five volumes of the 1984 Belgian graphic novel series XIII, the protagonist Jason Fly (XIII) is a confused and amnesic man who searches for his identity throughout a comic book-style, cel-shaded world. Found stranded on a beach by a lifeguard, Fly is accused of having killed the President of the United States. The accusation later transpires as mistaken, as Fly finds himself facing a gang of 20 conspirators ("The XX") who aim to overthrow the government.
The game was well received by the public and critics, but its sales were not as high as expected by Ubisoft, which resulted in the cancellation of future sequels. The game ends on a cliffhanger, but the story continues through the comics.
