    New XCOM announced by Firaxis.

    I am so glad this is going to be PC exclusive. Strategy games never work well on consoles anyways and now PC controls and UI for the new XCOM won't have to be gimped because of consoles. It's also getting Mod support!

    Could've sworn this already came out back in 1995.

    Sure, if you buy into cynical marketing practices wherein their decision to apply numbers trumps the reality of the situation (See also Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5).

    I was being sarcastic. I'm actually pretty annoyed by reboots picking names like this. Thief, Wolfenstein, Tomb Raider have all done this before and Doom is also just calling its newest game just "Doom". It doesn't lessen my excitement for this game though. I love turn based combat and I loved XCom UFO Defense and XCOM Enemy Within. As long as they keep the game recognizably XCOM and not turn it into a crappy shooter like that 1960's themed XCOM game, it should be a fun game.
