A remake of one of the best PC games ever? Consider me seriously hyped.

yep

I've spent countless hours defending Earth against those nasty aliens in the original X-COM. Let's just hope they don't screw it up by making it "more accessible", "action-packed" and "cinematic".

Just give me the old X-COM with modernized gfx and a slick GUI and I'll be a very happy camper.

Sweet.

Also, I'm sure you've seen this since you have War in the East, but did you know Matrix has one too? It works swimmingly for me on Win 7 64 bit too. UFO Extraterrestrials.

X-COM a blast, and I've only ever scratched the surface.

Fans of the original are worried about the FPS take on it. Never played original so I'm hoping for a cool shooter

Mighty big shoes to fill, but with Firaxis involved it has a shot. Fingers crossed. Smile2
