Never played these games but I hear they're classics.

EvilCackle6054d ago

I've played the first one (UFO Defense), which is one of my favorite games of all time. Heard good things about Terror Under The Sea and Apocalypse, too.

Strategy fans who have never experienced this game should check it out especially at such a low price. The strategy elements, graphics, sound and gameplay mechanics all blend together for an experience that still to this day keeps it at the top of the strategy genre. Also the tech trees, various skills of characters, the multi-tier levels within a map really made this a special game. It is a difficult game though. Maybe one day there will be a remake,spiritual successor maybe even a sequel, I hope.

EvilCackle6053d ago

The rumor is that 2K Boston and Ken Levine are making a new one.

pippoppow6053d ago

If they can make it similar to UFO Defense with all the current gen trimmings then it should be something to look forward to. It really is amazing how some of the best games of all time have been forgotten and not capitalized upon. How about a new X-wing and Wing Commander. What about a new Panzer Dragoon Saga or a proper sequels to the first Alone in the dark or a remake. Can go on and on. I wonder sometimes what are some of these decision makers running the Dev Studios thinking.

EvilCackle6053d ago

I wouldn't mind a sort of Valkyria Chronicles combat system where it's still a turn-based RPG but it feels like a third-person shooter. I kind of expect a new X-Com to play like a traditional first-person shooter, though. Even that would be interesting if they kept the overall base-building aspects.

Perjoss6053d ago

a truly amazing game (the first one, x-com ufo defense) I played it to death, heh i played it on my playstation with the playstation mouse and playstation mousepad :D , but sadly its one of those games that if you've never played something like this and you fire it up today you will more than likely turn it off after a few secs. It just does not stand up today. And this is why someone needs to make a GOOD remake or something.

Of the two new X-COMs coming out, THIS will be the one I am looking forward to.

X-COM-themed FPS for the lose.

bedroomcoder5771d ago

Too true. You'd think they'd have learned from the Command and Conquer FPS...

Folezicle5771d ago

I think its too early to judge the FPS Xcom as we haven't seen much of it.

Regardless I'm more looking forward to this one

I'll buy that for a dollar! Or nine.

Neco5125798d ago

Haha, seriously, that's too good a deal! If it's too good a deal to be true.... it must be.... true!

DaRockSays5798d ago

nice spin on that old saying

BakedGoods5798d ago

Bought the X-COM and Commando's pack. What a steal.

Legosz5798d ago

Not only do I love being a PS3 gamer, but I love actually having an above average PC for my gaming purposes. We PC users are really lucky to be gaming on PC, the prices are much lower then the console prices, and not only that, but we can play our games with better textures and at full 1080p :)

Kurylo3d5798d ago

actually we can play are games are higher resolution that 1080p... im just saying... lol.

BattleAxe5797d ago

Over the past few days I bought:

Sniper Elite $4.99

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising $4.50

Far Cry (Original)$6.69

The Chronicle of RiddicK: Assault on Dark Athena $6.79

Grand Theft Auto 4 $4.99

CrAppleton5798d ago

Holy jebus! That's a great deal!

DaRockSays5798d ago

Yup, steam is full of em. Nothing beats steam! PS3 FTW (soon anyway)

Charmers5798d ago (Edited 5798d ago )

What does the PS3 even have to do with this story ? This story is about the great deals available on steam on the PC. I can only guess you are under the impression steam is coming to the PS3 ... it IS NOT you are just getting some features of steamworks such as auto updating and cloud saving.

Oh Topic : This has to be the fifth time GTA 4 has been sold for about 5 bucks and none of the other deals seem that great so it is another day where my credit card stays firmly in my wallet.

SOAD5798d ago

He thinks that PS3 owners will be able to buy games off STEAM. He thinks that PS3 owners will get STEAM. We won't. We're just getting updates for Portal 2 straight from STEAM works.

Kurylo3d5798d ago

if ps3 did allow steam and digital downloads for games... it would be huge... but steam beats xbox live any day of the week for chatting and making friends nad voice communication.

DaRockSays5798d ago

Great game that would totally be worth running through again

CrAppleton5798d ago

Very good game! I would run through GTA IV again. Been some interesting expansion packs for it too

Neco5125798d ago

Team Fortress 2? SF IV? Damn, there are some great games on sale right now
