Every XCOM Game Ranked From Worst to Best

BLG writes: "COM games have been around for nearly three decades at this point in some form or another. While XCOM never managed to reach the same heights of success as other long-running franchises, the series definitely has its fair share of fans. With XCOM 3 likely still a couple of years away, we figured we’d reminisce a bit about previous games in the series and try to rank them all from worst to best."

I would have put the original game at number one if it didn't crash all the time.
Have the suspense was know if it was going to load the next round of not.

I know these are ranking the "XCOM" games. However, Phoenix Point, which is made by the same team, is much better than all of the XCOM games. Just my opinion though. lol

Minimoth707d ago

That's not quite accurate. Phoenix Point was made by Julian Gollop, the guy who designed the original X-COM games. The new XCOM games from 2012 onward were made by Firaxis and/or other subsidiaries of 2K Games.

Xcom 1&2 above the original o_O ..... hell no

The more recent games were a massive downgrade (1 was an unfinished mess of a game XD)

The incredibly ambitious game was hamstrung by enough drama to fill its own story.

We need more articles like this one. Every site writes about the same exact shit as every other site. Pick any game and every site follows the same pattern: Game Announcement, Teaser Trailer, Release Date, Full Trailer, Director says X, Producer says Y, Game Review, DLC announcement, post-mortem. If you read Polygon or Kotaku, toss in some articles about butts or race. This was incredibly refreshing.

I don't remember if you save the world in that game but Urban Chaos: Riot Response was one of the most american games back in the day, I've never even been to the country and that game was still rad.
