GamerFitNation: I got to see a brief demo of XCOM: Enemy Unknown at E3 2012, while it wasn’t a long demo I was still impressed. The fact that you could strategically take control of your army on and off land was impressive. The game itself has amazing art work and a classic look to what many people would picture an alien invasion would look like. The game looks to stay true to its retro format only with far more options, insanely better graphics, and audio that brings you into the intensity of the invasion. It looks to be like it’s going to be a fun game for fans of the original XCOM game as well as for new comers.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.
If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.
Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.
Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me
It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.
There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy. To be sure, we are more often than not talking about turn-based tactical mobile games, specifically titles in line with the iconic landmark series (XCOM and Jagged Alliance) that made the genre a genre.
