    re: XCOM: Enemy Unknown

    Just tried the demo out on Steam and I had a blast! This game completely flew under my radar and now I'm really looking forward to it.

    Isn't there another XCOM game in development but as a FPS?

      Well the demo ruined my plans...lol.

      I had intended to hold off on this until down the road when a sale hits since there are a bunch of games coming soon that I want to try (and I knew how this would end up sucking me in), but after playing the demo this is all I want to play right now. So, I pre-ordered it on Steam. I'm weak.

        There is, but I believe it is on an indefinite hold.

          Yeah, I am moving Saturday and have a trip leaving the following Saturday.

          No time to play demo, which is good. Every other game I could hold off on, but this one I'm not sure I could. I love waiting until there are sales now, I just got Madden for 40 instead of 60.

          I may have to get this on release, figure it all out once I'm back from our wedding shower trip back to Ohio.

            I like that it's a hex movement game...but not a rigid one.
            Smart to make the hexes fit the environment and not the other way around like most war games do.
            ...and I love that the scenarios will randomize rather than totally pre-determined(from what I gathered from the video)
            This game will definitely be a time eater.

              This might be one of the funniest preview videos I've ever seen. It really shows you how your plans can blow up in your face.

                12 More days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                I decided to go with the 360 version! Several friends will be playing it. After 6 months or so when the Mods for PC really start rolling out, I will pick up the PC version for my "years" of playing copy.

                  All these videos make me wonder how a game like this hasn't been made sooner, even if not X-COM in name.

                  The graphics are awesome for a turn based game, and the variety of gameplay amazes me.

                    I remember saying this here on OS years ago, I'm know I wasn't the only one who felt this way.

                    This game should have been redone with today's engines & graphics long ago.

                    It's about time and it looks like they got this version right.

                    The original was just amazing, I played it on pc and Playstation. I'm gonna have to start hunting, I know I still have the Playstaion, PS mouse, & game lying about somewhere in my garage.

                          I only played the demo for Valkyria but I see where you're coming from so I'm gonna say yes, yes you are.

                              Preordered yesterday before going out of town. Can't freaking wait. It was this or 2k13... I think I made the right choice.
