I've owned it since the day of its release, and enjoyed what I played of it at the time, but must have been distracted by other things because I didn't stick around to finish it. With the recent news of Ryan's tragic passing, I was looking for something I could play to comfort me, and I remembered how excited he was before Enemy Unknown released, and how much he loved it (being number one in his 2012 top ten list). I also happen to be on Vacation from work right now, and thank goodness because I don't know how I would have handled the last few days otherwise...
So I hunkered down with XCOM: Enemy Unknown, only taking a break to use the bathroom and to download the bombcast (and cry like a girl). I've come out on the other side of this binge session, something that I should have spaced out over a couple of weeks but instead crammed into a day and a half, drained but satisfied. What an excellent game, and it proved to be extremely therapeutic in this time of sorrow.
