New X-Com Game

[TKz]

Seriously? I'd say that's a decent price considering how much you're getting. I got it when tablet people complained about the FF games being overpriced, as they're like 20 years old now, but XCOM is well worth £20, let alone on a portable device.

I was thinking about this game the other day. I really, really wish they'd thought to include an "Endless" mode, where there's no story elements, just you and your team, surviving until you've got no one left. I'd play the shit out of that.

Apple usualy translates the price somewhat fairly, so i am guessing more like 15GBP for the game. I certainly will put this on my list of things to get. I think i´ll just set an alarm so i can pick it up when it gets discounted because i am cheap and i don´t need a third version right now. >_>

Personaly i don´t mind these prices. The amount of current gen mobile games that give you the same kind of value like a Chrono Trigger is close to non exsitant. Dont ger me wrong, these games are great in their own way, but you will always see how a KOTOR has more cash behin it´s development. It´s well worth the 10-20$

PS3 vs iPad 3 comparison.

This obviusly might look different on an iPad 2/mini (they are the same processor) or the newer generations with more processing power. But on the other hand they have to minimize data considering how iPads start at 16GB of space.

Why do seemingly all my snipers turn out to have psychic abilities? Strange how that has worked out

My sniper (and leader) was my main psychic user. I loved him.

I think it might have something to do with the Sniper having high stats in the areas that is compatible with a psychic. Though, saying that, I chucked a random grunt in the PSY thing, assuming I'd be able to give a bunch of people powers. >_>

It bothers me when I foolishly don't select the upgrade option of removing the "can't fire after moving" penalty.

There's one or two soldiers that I don't use as much, because that not being able to fire after moving thing annoys me.

I am the worst at this game. How do you combat those crawling spider zombie turner things? I can't kill them quick enough!

Go all out for the kill. Use Rocket Launchers if you have to. And keep your distance.

That's usually the best approach. I did two games where I specifically named all of the soldiers after my friends (one using the randomizer in the newer patches) and I got creamed. Started a new game and I'm most of the way through with only one soldier death recorded, though they got a few SHIVs.

Name all your soldiers after EWBers.

It makes you care more.

Fuck it, I am getting back into this game.

When I can be arsed.

It doesn't look that bad! I am interested.

[Noah]

Aww man, Ruki likes it.

Its certainly changed from its original concept.
