The new Xcom game isn’t really X-Com at all. There’s no turns and certainly no isometric combat. For those upset about this, maybe you should look into, of all things, a Ghost Recon game for the 3DS.
One might think that Kotaku Tower is a place bereft of computers, or at least gaming on computers, judging by how infrequently we write about them. But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
When 2K unveiled its reimagining of X-Com, many of you despaired as the series abandoned its isometric, turn-based roots. You’ll probably be interested in this fan remake then.
The Official Xbox Magazine got the first look at 2K’s upcoming XCOM title this month, with the first details on the game revealing that there’s cause for both hope and concern among fans of the original’s strategic twist.
If there’s one thing 2K’s announcement of a shooter-focused XCOM remake has done, it’s open the door to a slew of games cashing in on the company’s seeming abandonment of the series’ turn-based roots. Games like this iPhone title!
There’s nothing quite as humiliating as being outed at a weekend dinner party as the sole attendee who hasn’t played X-COM UFO Defence. You’ve been there, stuffing your mouth with canapés while the group swaps X-COM strategies and pleasantries, excluding you from the conversation.
Never again! Thanks to the power of Steam, you can enjoy five X-COM classics — X-COM: UFO Defence, X-COM: Apocalypse, X-COM: Interceptor, X-COM: Enforcer and X-COM: Terror From The Deep — on the cheap. How cheap? How about $US 13.49 USD for all five? I thought so.
They’re $US 4.99 individually, making the Complete Package purchase with its introductory discount a no-brainer. Should get your mouse hand nice and limber for the forthcoming sequel.
