XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review | Daily Mail

Game Arena: "When I first began playing XCOM I knew people would die, but I wasn't particularly bothered. I thought it would be fun to name people after my close friends and family. You can customise every single soldier you get – their sex and nationality is final, but you can change their race, hair style and color, face structure and armour design however you please. It's up to you. So I spent a good five minutes on each of my soldiers, making them look like myself, my friends and my family. Naturally, I was the first to die."
