 ... competence, you need to keep a constant eye on your progress. This is by no means a simple blast-fest. This increased level of tactics at the management level is new to this installment. In my view, it goes a little over the top at times - I would rather my troops re-armed themselves without having to constantly worry whether or not I've topped up their grenades. Maybe prompts to re-order items would have been a good idea. The other majo r...more

XCOM Apocalypse is one of my all time favourite games. Having played through the entire series (except XCOM interceptor, which I hardly like to acknowledge, because it's almost an insult to everyone who's bought and played the previous ones) I really love this one. The story goes that at the beginning of the 21st century, aliens started taking a great interest in planet earth, and we decided to stop them once they became hostile. XCOM was formed, an elite military/scientific unit with the full name the Xtra Terrestrial Combat Unit to fight and study the alien menace. (This all happened in the first game, UFO Enemy Unknown, which is a classic and I ...

The peril of the secret government founded organization X-com is one which everyone should be familiar with. X-COM have had many games, starting with enemy unknown back in the early 90's i swear. This must have been my first real strategy game i played and i fell in love. The balance in the earlier games was never quite spot on if you ask me, but in Apocalypse it is perfect. The learning curve of this game has got to be one of the best bits about it. The major difference about this game in the illustrious series was the clock contoller used to speed time up, so that your men can recover, munitions arrive, base facilities to be built and accidents to happen. ...

Premium Review X-Com - Enemy Unknown (PC): The most addictive game ever (216 words)

This is the most addictive game I have ever played. If you have played any of the other X-Com games you will be familiar with the basic concept, aliens attack and you either send in men or vehicles to deal with them depending on the situation. However this game has been greatly improved and is very, very good. For the first time in the tactical combat situations, when you control your men, you are able to play in real time as well as turn based. There are also a lot more voiceless to choose from then before, such as hover cars and APCs. The location has changed to just one city and you are even able to take the fight to the alien dimension. You also have to ...

good fun, quick play mode for a quick blast, adds more to the average flight sim a little dated, might not appeal to stratagists as much as the other x-com games

Cheap, fast-paced and fun. Not as good as earlier versions, some problems, large install for this type of game.

just amazing none


More variety than earlier game, additional aircraft and more maps Career mode has been amended, but you still have to complete every mission
