Turn based strategy games... Not exactly the coolest genre I admit.
But of all the games I have ever played, I think Xcom must be my absolute favourite and is responsible for far too many wasted hours of my life - I played the sequels, the prequels and the spin offs, but the original is king.
I was slightly apprehensive when I heard a while back that it was being remade, but the apprehension was tinged with quiet confidence as the remake is being handled by Firaxis.
I have just watched a video featuring the new version and might have wee'd myself slightly in excitement.
