These aliens can't even deal with your mad strategery.

Very Mass Effect-y, definitely interested.

All that and a sweet hat.

This looks cool, but I still miss when this was going to be a BioShock-esque FPS.

So far it's looking like things turned out the best possible way for this franchise.

Yeah, only with better squad commands. Hopefully this game doesn't fall into bad scripting problems considering that these types of games would often have those kinds of problems.

I wonder if the box art will actually be all redacted like they show at the end of the trailer, or if they'll default to guy grimacing with gun in hand.

Anyway, this looks like a really cool compromise for bringing XCOM to a new genre and retaining some of the strategy roots. I'm glad this game survived even though they went away from the original FPS design, which I thought looked really interesting.

Hopefully it turns out to be a good game.

@tesla: Guy face down eyes up gun in hand on front cover. Artsy cool cover on reverse. Because marketing is dumb. :( I would love to be proven wrong on that, though. edit-- When they show box art in the trailer that usually means the design is final.

This game looks fun. Mass Effect 1 combat with better squad commands is right up my alley.

Marketing gotta do what marketing gotta do. :(

Cool, this no longer looks terrible. It's been long enough since the new XCOM that I'm ready for a sequel. I'll accept this as filler while waiting for the next one though.

Can't wait to see what the romance options are!

Now tell me that these characters have at least Jagged Alliance-levels of personality and you have my money.

What's going on? why is there so little content on the site? Especially the week after E3. shouldn't it be a madhouse on here?

More timed exclusive DLC for the 360 on this game means I'll wait until THAT runs out, at which point the game will be like $20 cheaper. I don't play the "timed exclusive" game.
