While on my miscellaneous wanderings of the net, I came across this little news item on Kotaku about a rumour running in the latest Official XBox Magazine. One can only hope it's true...
QUOTE The latest Official Xbox Mag is running a rumour that's been quietly - oh so quietly - doing the rounds for a few months now. That rumour concerns just what, exactly, 2K Boston (and I presume 2K Australia as well) are up to these days. With 2K Marin confirmed as the team behind BioShock 2, what could Ken Levine and the rest of the guys behind BioShock 1 be working on? Maybe a new X-Com game. Yes, X-Com. 2K quietly bought the rights to the series in 2007, so the rumour's at least got a solid footing, though we're still going to recommend you increase your daily intake of salt. If only because the thought of a new, official X-Com game is too awesome to mess around with.

Hmmm, nothing new unfortunately, this rumor has been running around for more than a year. We've been keeping a close eye on them. In fact, if it were any closer it would be embarrassing.
 Something tells me we might find out what they're working on on E3. |

Yep - last time though it was a Bioshock announcement, so don't get your hopes up just yet.

Highly unlikely, as far as these series of rumors go it's a tactical RPG. Even if such a label doesn't really fit X-COM, more Jagged Alliance. Although even that's a stretch.

Here's to hoping this isn't going to be an X-COM game. If they do the same thing to X-COM that they did to the "Shock" franchise, all your soldiers will be indestructible and there will only be one enemy type throughout the entire game.
It must be given to someone else. -------------------- Strong Bob's random Star Trek quote of the year:
