SonyRumors gives you a preview of XCOM: Enemy Within from PAX 2013:
"Released on console for the first time since X-Com: UFO Defense on the original PlayStation, Enemy Unknown brought turn-based strategy to the PS3 in a way that few other games had done this generation. Just a few days before the PlayStation 4 arrives in North America, 2K Games and Firaxis are bringing a major expansion to the Enemy Unknown story to PS3 with XCOM: Enemy Within. Firaxis brought a hands-off demo of Enemy Within to PAX Prime, and here are a few of our takeaways from that session."
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.
Some games age better than others. When a game is getting on in years, mods can help give the game a little push and make it worth playing again.
This is such a popular series on mobile like iPad so it's nice that they are continuing to support the series for console
