There is a demo out for XCOM. Downloading it as I type.

my shit just came in the mail. Been playin for about an hour now. Pretty kewl. Im a complete n00b though, never even heard of the originals.

[Durothil Skyreaver]

I've pumped quite a few hours into this already. Doesn't have the same level of freedom that the original had, but it is still damn fun, and damn hard.

[Gaazy]

wow I suck at this game. 2 days in and ive lost 4 council members. Maybe i'll just start over. Too hard to keep panic levels from rising in different places at once. Only so many godamn satellites I can build for christs sake

[Gaazy]

Now that Im into this game, I cant stop playing it~

[Harrison]

It's kind of formulaic in the panic rising sense. I've only lost one country so far because I don't care about Africa (lol racism, but they don't pay shit anyways, so they're not worth the benefits I would sacrifice by going to that terror site over say Asia's)

picked it up on winter steam sale

about half my squad has titan armor and everyone has either plasma or laser; most are at colonel

lost a couple countries but going strong, trying to build the hyper beacon thingy

just fought my first sectopod last night, mean bastards

[brinstar]

must be getting close to the end? just got an achievement for doing an autopsy on every kind of alien after whacking the ethereal on the cloaked ship and stealing the blue ball

need to run a few more missions and get the last couple of satellites set up so i can build the special training facility and exploit the psi-link thingy, then take on the big huge earthquake-causing ship that just showed up and win teh game
