Mike Rohde of GoozerNation writes, "Usually, I have a lot of fun gaming, that’s why I do it. Gaming is a relaxing, rewarding, challenging, experience all rolled up in one nice package. And actively playing a game is far better than passively watching a movie. But there are games, and evenings, that go straight into the toilet due to extremely frustrating events."
XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.
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.
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.
There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy. To be sure, we are more often than not talking about turn-based tactical mobile games, specifically titles in line with the iconic landmark series (XCOM and Jagged Alliance) that made the genre a genre.
Sure, they may be made for a child audience, but TT Games' Lego games are still incredibly fun for any age! Here's our ranking of the very best.
I dislike the LEGO games after the first one I played. They are just cut and paste with a new skin- My son liked them so we had a few over the years .Star Wars, Lord of the Rings , Batman but after the first it just felt like an extension of the first game on an endless loop
They are ok games, but every single one of them are basically the same. I enjoyed Lego Star Wars 1 and 2 and then the complete collection, but every other one after that has just been the same thing and it got a little dull.
had a lot more fun with Lego Marvel Superheroes than any other lego game.
Might be partly due to the fact there wasn't a lot else to play on my new PS4 when it came out
Aliens Colonial Marines is like that, or it will just put you to sleep.
Lesson to be learned: Always have multiple saves when possible.
I didn't lose a single soldier or a single country on my first play through thanks to being an OCD multiple save file freak.
