XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review

[Blood Brain Barrier]

Is the X-COM Tall Man the original Slenderman? They seem very similar. I don't remember him in the original X-COM though, maybe because I played Terror From the Deep more.

Thanks for spoiling what happens if you lose, that scene would probably have been pretty emotional the first time around, but now it is ruined.

They didn't.

Trust me on this, I found the complete lose campaign ending on youtube and trust me they edited it amazingly well.

The bits they didn't include...

really? well okay just ignore me then, thanks for letting me know. Though you have to agree, it is easy to believe it was the end.

Yeah, but it's more like government request rather than selling at any time to unknown forces (well I knew where my muton corpses were going )

You'll get occasional requests from specific governments for specific items, but the Grey Market is an any-time, anonymous sell. The requests are usually for more than the Grey Market, so again there's the trade-offs - do I sell my alien goo for cash now, or save it in case a Canadian corporation asks their government to find something to spice up their poutine?

Wait, this is out already?

Curse you Aussie release dates, curse you!

So it's both then? Nice!

Also, why am I even answering this, when I have X-Com to play :/
Bye, I'm going to commit aliencyde >

Wait this is a remake? I thought this was a shat out sequel after everyone got pissed about the FPS? Ah well whatever, I might get this, it looks really good.

This game looks like a less pretty, less fun, less epic, less anime and more generic Valkyria Chronicles.


I'm sure it'll sell 5 million copies!

They're making two games. This one and the fps version.

They announced the fps version first, which got all the fans of the original game pissed off.

Being an Xcom fan, myself, I can recommend this game. I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

Definitely play it. For me, the feel is exactly as the original, only faster and better. Everything in it makes sense.

Watch for Cryssalids and level your snipers....
