XCOM: Enemy Unknown outlines the casualties of interstellar war
By Alice Lynton on August 25, 2012 at 5:13 pm
XCOM: Enemy Unknown pays homage to its late 90′s progenitor by embracing strategic turn-based combat. If you’re under the age of 25 and/or have never played anything without a major international landmark being blown up by terrorists, you’ve probably already tuned out. Which makes you a bit of a silly billy, as the trailer below shows off just how awesome repelling an alien invasion is. It’s got a deep-voiced narrator and everything; you could be watching a CoD trailer except there are actual colours. XCOM: Enemy Unknown comes from the strategy nuts at Firaxis and is due on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in October.

Damn, was hoping for some gameplay or actual info.
Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait!
Firaxis games have always been addictive with a massive amounts of gameplay, own every single one of their games ever made.
I do wish though that we could get an Alpha Centauri 2, with today’s graphics it would be epic, still play it on my Intel Atom tablet even today.
Not sure if I’ll be over my initial Borderlands 2 infatuation by the time this comes out or not..
Looks cool, the “narrator” sounds like Optimus Prime though (not necessariy a bad thing :D)
What… you’re actually buying Borderlands 2 when Xcom is coming out? No time for me to play BL2…
