X-Com: Enemy Unknown

Silver Crusade

From what I've heard from a friend that made it to E3, you'll be able to name all of your troops along with customizing their appearance.

This means a whole new generation of gamers is going to have that unique experience of seeing their friends, loved ones, and favorite fictional characters struggle, persevere, and grow into a formidible unit.

That will eventually panic and perish horribly during their first bad Terror Mission.

Spoiler:
Because they are back too.

And now they can jump.

Oh I can't wait to see the reactions. :)


When will it be out? It was one of my favourite games.


October 9. I preordered already. I can't wait. I probably played the original Xoom longer than any other video game I've ever owned.

Silver Crusade

Yep. Apparently one of the DLCs for character customization is going to be the ridiculous flattop from the original. :D

It's been noted that character customization and squad member permadeath is a particularly cruel combination.


I loved the original X-Com.

I am hesitant about this one.


Ugh FPS...

I may try it but will be waiting to see the reviews and feedback

Silver Crusade

I think you're thinking of the 50's XCOM that got delayed.

This is the one that actually aims to stay true to the original.


Another game I'd love to play I won't be able to aford soon... Dang. Well, for ages (i.e. somewhere since 97) I was used to play games years after their release.


Ahhhhh... the days of landing with your transport craft, losing initiative, getting a plasma grenade lobbed inside it through the port hatch, killing all but one agent...


My middle-school students described this game to me as "like Pathfinder." I've played it and I really like it -- it's turn based, and the soldiers seem to have standard actions and move actions, if only by another name. I actually expected this game to get a little more love on these boards -- the tactical aspect of it hearkens back to Temple of Elemental Evil, but without the magic of course. And cover plays a big role.


Gt it during the Summer Sale. Good game.

Just shut it down for the night, actually.


I should really play its expansion one of these days--I've already completed the base game.

The long war mod is good as well.
