Browsing Machinma vids on Youtube today, I saw something that I find rather exciting.
A new X-com game, or at least a remake of the very first X-com game.
I think UFO Enemy Unknown and the entire X-com series in general is one of my all time favourites. They could be as hard as anything but they were very well designed, you could blow up the enviroment and it had both length and depth. The other two x-com games that dipped into other genres were really not all that good so I am glad they went back to the squad based game.
It seems like a few old games have been revived and updated recently. I have seen new versions of Jagged Alliance, Cannon Fodder and Syndicate.
