XBL games on demand prices are a joke and a slap to the face !

Breadcrab4123d ago

I know, right? You'd think that because they aren't being physically distributed, they'd be priced lower. But no; same price, and in some cases more expensive than retail.

So much for competitive pricing.

It's dumb, I agree. However, the reason you see digital console games on par with retail store prices is because they don't want to compete. It's different for PCs because most PC sales are digital anyway.

If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.

Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930177d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me

It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.

Ten Best Tactical Mobile Games

There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict.
