You are right and I am probably jumping the gun but the screen shots just don't feel like Xcom and with what the general populace seems to like makes "cutting out tedium and uninteresting mechanics" sound like make the game easier and less micromanaging, which is what I enjoyed about it and has kept me coming back year after year.

Xcom could be such a brutal unforgiving game and that doesn't usually sell well.

I just wish companies would come up with there own IPs or truly try to encompass the feel and look of what they are trying to recreate instead of thinking hey if we slap the Xcom label on it it will sell more. Which seems like an odd decision considering how old the games are and how devoted the fan base is.

' it gets rid of much of the "tedium and uninteresting mechanics," '

This is the problem. Enemy Unknown is one of the few games that I reload year after year and play again. I don't find the game to have tedious and uninteresting mechanics. If you don't want to remake the game come up with your own damn IP and stop crapping all over Xcom.

I'm not claiming the original was perfect but add to it and enhance it, don't tell me you are remaking a game but cutting out everything I felt was good about it and "reimagining" your own crap ideas aimed at ADHD 13 year olds on Xboxs.

At least there is Xenonauts.

That sucks. I've read this blog daily since it started and will be sad to see it go. The PC platform gets no respect.

Good luck in your future endeavours.

I was watching this show with my wife and we had the conversation that they must get paid for the show. We decided that the money was probably put into a trust or something until the show had ended. $60,000/yr isn't an insane amount of money but it would impact the shows narrative of how hard it is to be a teen mom.

It kills me that The Good Guys and Terriers are on the bubble when cookie cutter crap like $#*! my Dad Says gets renewed. I don't mind sitcoms and like quite a few but there are so many! The Good Guys and Terriers are different and interesting. Why do people hate interesting!?

This movie completely changed what I thought about Hugh Grant, taking someone I could barely stand and transforming them into someone that made me want to go back and reevaluate all his other movies is an incredible feat. Good choice.

Love this site.

I hated Crash, most over-hyped movie of all time.

Game looks interesting.

McHale said he was going to continue doing The Soup also. I doubt Oliver would leave The Daily Show for just what appears to be a bit part.
