Ive been absolutely engaged about this releasei can remember back to my freshmen year of boarding school (1992); X-COM! it's what got me into gaming. Firaxis (Civilization fame) is making a remake of the classic original (UFO Unknown) and in my mind, if anyone knows real time strategy, it's Firaxis. (altho this is a turn based title) a classic remake that's bound to challenge any arm chair general.

I made friends with one of the nerdy kids from school just so I could goto his house and use his PC to play this game. Turns out I was also one of the nerdy kids.
