Michael Futter writes: After PAX East, I knew that I wanted to get more time in front of XCOM: Enemy Unknown at E3. The 15-minute demo we got back in April was enough to skyrocket anticipation of the game, but not enough to slake my thirst for knowledge. I swore that if I got the chance, I would dig every nugget of information I could out of someone on the team at Firaxis, starting with one curious abduction, “Where did the title’s hyphen go?”
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.
Bring it on.
still not convinced this new version will make me play it more than UFO:enemy unknown & Terror from the deep, gonna least give it a try
