There are two that I know of, an earlier one called simply "The X-Files game" for playstation and computer:
Plot summary:
The game takes place somewhere within the timeline of the third season of The X-Files series. The story follows a young Seattle-based FBI agent named Craig Willmore (played by Jordan Lee Williams) who is assigned by Assistant Director Walter Skinner to investigate the disappearance of agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, who were last seen in the Everett, Washington area. Agent Willmore must use his state-of-the-art spy tools: night vision goggles, a digital camera, PDA (an Apple Newton), lock picks, evidence kit, a standard issue handgun, handcuffs and badge, to follow their trail. Along the way, he is partnered with a Seattle Police Department detective named Mary Astadourian (played by Paige Witte) and a minor subplot involves a relationship developing between the two.
Several of the actors from the TV series reprise their roles in the game, including David Duchovny (Mulder), Gillian Anderson (Scully), Mitch Pileggi (Skinner), Steven Williams (X) and - very briefly and depending upon the outcome of the game, William B. Davis (Cigarette Smoking Man). The game is set and was filmed in Seattle. The TV series actors filmed their relatively brief appearances in the game just before entering production on the feature film. The game's plotline involves aliens taking over the bodies of humans and contains many references to the show's mytharc. During the course of the game the "present day" date of April 1996 is displayed alongside certain locations, placing this "episode" before the season three episode "Wetwired" and after "Avatar", which take place April 27 and March 7 respectively. This time is also after the first incident with the alien black oil in the "Piper Maru" episode of Season Three.
The screenplay for X-Files The Game was written by Richard Dowdy, from a story by Chris Carter
The other, newer game for Playstation 2 is "The X-Files: Resist or Serve":
Plot summary
Intended as three new episodes set during the show's 7th season, the game follows FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (voiced by David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (voiced by Gillian Anderson) as they travel to a small town in the Rocky Mountains to dig into the source of some strange and unexplained murders. Sightings of ghostly apparitions, zombies and hints of alien presence lead them on a chase for an "inhuman" killer. During the course of the story, Mulder and Scully follow leads to a remote location in Russia and then discover, and search, a mysterious half-buried alien space ship. Players can play as Mulder or Scully as they attempt to prevent alien colonization of Earth.
The game features Mark Snow's theme music from The X-Files series, as well as voice acting by the show's actors. Additionally, bonuses with the game include "behind the scenes" footage (featuring several of the male actors recording their lines while wearing bright red lipstick, a common practice used to get better enunciation and crisper sound) and commentaries from the series. The game follows the The X-Files series' established canon, including the themes of alien colonization and the "black oil" (also known as the Black Cancer). Players also investigate various sets from the series, including the FBI office, Mulder's apartment building, and the Russian camp where Mulder and Alex Krycek were subjected to the black oil. Many of the major and minor characters from the show make appearances, including Skinner, Kersh, the Lone Gunmen, Krycek, Marita Covarrubias and the Cigarette Smoking Man.
I've played them both, and I definitely like the second one best, because you actually get to be Mulder and Scully, and there are zombies in it! (I just love zombies) In that one, you play each level as Mulder and then as Scully (or the other way around) Sometimes the characters stick together, but sometimes their story lines separate, so playing a level as Mulder will be completely different than playing the same level as Scully.
The first one is much more slow-going, and you are being the other FBI agent who isn't even from the show. You barely even interact with Mulder or Scully. It's okay... Just not great, in my opinion.
So... Have you guys played them? What did you think of them?

I've seen demos and reviews for both.
The second one (in my opinion) just looks like Resident Evil with Mulder and Scully as the main characters.

Though I wouldn't mind owning a copy. Just to add to my x-files love<3

I've played the first one on a copy for the PS 1.
My friend has it, and I hope to one day buy it off of him.
I've never got to play the second one.

We never gave up, we never will. I own the first one.
I liked it even though Mulder and Scully were hardly in it.
I thought it was fun.
I love the Lone Gunmen part <3 In the end, if that's the best they can say about us, it'll do.
