I am personally glad to see a strategy game like XCom is getting a marketing push.  I hope it does well.  I am not a big fan of tactical strategy though, but I do like strategy and hope it sells millions making for more strategy games to show up.

I bought it!

Looks fantastic and honors one of the most iconic games from my childhood. Hope it sells

I'm a retro admirer of PC.

I only buy games (or sequels) from my childhood though... like Diablo 3 or this new X-Com. I don't like modern western games too much.

I have 40+ games on GOG.com , one of my favorite sites. Speaking of Gog, Divine Divinity is one dollar there... will never play, but it looks good on my virtual shelf

If you're talking Infogrames (the armadillo company) yeah, a lot I think... like alone in the dark or asterix... many others, but I don't recall which ones, just remember seeing their logo a lot

I'm not. The more people who play it, the more soldiers will die in totally unfair ways like all of mine are.

Think of the soldiers!!!

I played my first real abduction after the tutorial (which lasted WAY too long), and managed to get all my soldiers killed. Need more soldiers per squad. In original X-com, I always had a squad of 8. 4 is just not enough.

That was a concern for me when I was reading the previews, but the game feels nicely balanced for the smaller squad size. And you can upgrade to 5 or 6 pretty quickly, at least if you're lucky enough to have one tough bastard who just won't die and ranks up a lot like my own Eduardo "Kingpin" Marquez, Argentinian badass extraordinaire.

I have noticed promotions come a lot quicker in this than in the original. I know I used to be stuck with rookies for 2 or 3 missions before anyone would get promoted.

Thinking of starting a new game without tutorial. I like a little more freedom from the getgo.

I bought the game and I still have to wait half a day for it to unlock. Daaaaaaaaamn.

Jagged Alliance 2/Fallout 1 and 2 were my favourite games. I hope this will rank up there too.

Good to see that classic franchises get picked up again. Maybe my dream of a Commandos reboot will come true after all.
