XCOM: Enemy Unknown Wooooooohoo! It's finally here!! Eighteen years after its predecessor a new XCOM: Enemy Unknown has finally been released to the slavering, pitchfork wielding masses of eagerly awaiting fans. It truly is history in the making for the series and absolutely a day for celebration! http://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/5413/news-thumbnail_xcom_eu_bkgrnd.jpg Of all the possible futures, of all the possible outcomes, we could have hardly asked for more than to get XCOM revived by none other than Sid Meier's strategy gaming powerhouse, Firaxis. But we think it also can and should be said, without any doubt, that, in the end, what really makes or breaks a series are we, its fans, as has been continually evidenced throughout these many years, right here at StrategyCore, by the longstanding, enduring dedication to these great games. We are therefore extremely happy to report this new entry has just been released in the US, and in just a few more days (by October 12th), it shall likewise be unleashed upon the rest of the world. Jake Solomon, if you can hear us: All your game is now belong to us! Thank you! You've heard it here - the invasion has begun! Good luck Commander!!

XCOM: Enemy Unknown This is the clash of the titans. The time has finally come to dot the eyes, cross the tees and marking down the big X at the intersection of X-Com and XCOM with none other than the legendary Julian Gollop and the incredibly popular Jake Solomon! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8zZsecTRfM&feature=player_embedded With or without hyphen involved, the super-duper meeting at this year's GDC shall definitety go down in history, even if, or perhaps precisely because, as evidenced, actually no clashing need apply. Special thanks to Hobbes at our forums for reporting this - as he himself puts it - close "Encounter of the 3rd kind"!

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Is it possible to add extra challenge to XCOM: Enemy Unknown? Firaxis certainly seems intent on doing so and is therefore having us deal with a special content pack that will take us to China, no less. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXjTo1KRDY0 What's inside: This DLC pack is coming out today, so keep a watchful eye on Steam. We also haven't forgotten there's another one supposedly in the works, so we'll absolutely be on the lookout for any more suspicious activities, either human or alien, regarding this subject.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Soon you'll have more to contend with in XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Showing thick-skulled aliens their place is, as we know, often a difficult task to succeed at with any definitiveness, but it's not like we aren't keen on doing it, so to our good fortune Firaxis will shortly have additional assignments for us. http://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/5449/news-thumbnail_xcom_eu_upcmng_dlc_bnr.jpg Two new DLC packs are said to be in the pipe: Also reported, and available right now, is the Elite Soldier Pack which can at last be purchased by those who'd like to get their soldiers to look as fashionably attired and well-groomed as ours. Hey, killer looks do count!
