Game Informer - Why I'm Excited For XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Game Informer - As someone who hasn't owned a gaming-worthy PC for the better part of a decade, I guess I can safely be called a console gamer. While I don't miss the hassle of installing and configuring games or playing them at my desk with a keyboard and mouse, PC games still offer some gameplay features I wish I could get on a console.

The only two games I've been waiting that much in my life are Civ5 and Skyrim. Civ5 has the same developer as XCOM.

So that's all reasons I need. 8)

I'm enjoying my free copy of civ5 with xcom pre-purchase right now actually ;) I've never played a civ game before and I like it, xcom looks excellent I agree but I thought Skyrim was meh tbh and that's from someone that loved Oblivion.

agreed 100% on the skyrim thing. it was not as good as oblivion and far behind morrowind.

that said, ive never played an xcom game before but im hyped for this one, game looks fantastic. reminds me of fire emblem or advanced wars but 3d and on a console. totally sold

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - A Welcome Rebirth

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.

Excellent game.
Played to death on PS3 years ago.

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930933d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

shinoff2183933d ago

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

JL2930932d ago (Edited 932d ago )

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.

Ten Best Tactical Mobile Games

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.
