Xcom Enemy Unknown is a fantastic game.

And I never really liked turned-based games before playing it. A wonderful wonderful game in general, regardless of genre.

Thanks Danny O, always great subjects and perspectives on gaming. Nice to have videos and subjects for Older and Long Term gamers. Thanks mate.

@Lucy James: "....Everything comes up Milhouse..." This makes you even more awesome in my book!

You're great!

I grew-up on 1942 and '43. Those are the only top down arcade plane shooters I need. Well and Skyshark, lol.

@analogjunkie24 In all likelihood it comes down to : Context.

@suppaphly42 Oh yeah the lead into AC3 felt like it took forever! I just remember feeling like I played for hours to finally get to the "open world" part. I remember feeling like I just wanted to rush through and get to the good stuff. About 2/3 the way through the game I gave up on that idea. Just felt like tons of load times and fetch quests. So much running back and forth for nothing.

Man I am so glad I never cared about the "story" behind AC. It is one of the most convoluted, nonsensical, contrived back stories I have ever heard, and I have played a lot of games.They should have never tried the modern side of the story and just made it a "historical" game.

Mary Kish is the most awesome Gamer Girl ever. I've never run into a girl in real-life that is such a great tactics and strategy nerd. Just been a while since I gushed, had to a bit, lol.

Also the game looks cool, can't wait to test it out!

Love this game, love ALL the mods! All I've ever hoped for is to play it with at least one friend.

Are there any kind of co-op mods?

Heck I'd play even if it was just as a Merc.
