It's going to be Bioshock 2 with an "X-com" skin.

Sort of like how Fallout 3 was Oblivion with a "fallout" skin.

Not actual reboots. Just using the name and content to generate sales.

Xcom is popular?

It has it's hardcore niche following.  Which makes it puzzling why they would bother getting the X-Com license and then make a game that would decidedly NOT appeal to the people who liked X-Com.  Do they think they are going to trick anyone who remotely knows what X-Com is into thinking it's a "real" X-Com game?

That said, I'll reserve judgement until we see some gameplay.  I'm a little sick of all the FPS/TPS overloading that's happening this generation though, even though it's my favorite genre.  Maybe we'll see something like what X-Com: Alliance was supposed to be.  Somehow I doubt it, but there's always a sliver of hope.

Ah, who am I kidding.  The game is an FPS where you play as an FBI agent.  This isn't X-Com.  Why is this generation so intent on killing off every franchise?
