Hideously out of date, but ludecrously good fun to play, even now!

User Rating: 8.6 | X-COM: UFO Defense PC
It really does say something about a game when people still pick it up to play every six months or so, even when its over 10 years old! As the official review said, it has become the benchmark for turn based strategy games. The reason for this is simple, quality. UFO Enemy unknown came from a time when deep and thought through gameplay was the most important part of a release title. Featuring one of the earliest non linear progressions and carefully crafted game play, this game is amazingly good fun to play.

The difficulty curve is brilliant too. From simple anti stectoid small UFO raids, to full blown base defense missions against angry Etherials, this game has it all!
