Debut XCOM trailer is an inky black treat
At last, 2K Games has unleashed the debut trailer for 2K Marin's upcoming FPS relaunch of the XCOM franchise.

Xenonauts capitalizes on XCOM rage
2K Marin's surprise announcement of an XCOM reboot upset a number of purists.

X-Com: Screenshots from the Deep
We would trade our souls for a DS version of X-Com: UFO Defense, had we not already sold the bedraggled things to Milhouse at a discount price of five dollars of course, but it looks like Blue_knight's homebrew port of the tactical RPG is coming along well enough. Three cheers for hobbyist ...
