big letdown, better graphics is not better game

One of the best games & most fun you will experience all year
Were to begin, i'll try & keep it short and sweet. If you want to experience one of the best games of the year run out & buy X-Com, you will not be disappointed. Even if this is not a typically game you would normally pl... Read Full Review
